By GlobalDataMarriott International president and CEO Anthony Capuano said: “The lifting of travel restrictions throughout the Asia Pacific, particularly in Greater China, significantly boosted first-quarter demand in the region.
“In the US and Canada, we saw solid demand across the leisure and group segments in the quarter, while business transient demand continued to improve. ADR in the region rose 10% year over year, aided by higher special corporate negotiated rates and 15% growth in group ADR.
“While the global economic picture is uncertain, demand remains strong and we are not seeing signs of a slowdown. With the faster-than-expected recovery in international markets and continued solid booking trends globally to date in the second quarter, we are raising our RevPAR guidance for the full year.”
