Where We Are Headed In Lodging Webinar
U.S. lodging industry trends remain choppy. 3Q RevPAR growth eased and outlooks for 4Q have edged lower. Modest growth trends in group and business travel continue to be offset by underwhelming leisure demand. We are seeing increasingly price-conscious consumers think twice about hotel, short term rental, and domestic flight prices. Verticals within travel remain mixed. Cruise and international outbound demand continue to make gains, while most hotel and airlines co’s are edging their 2H outlooks lower. What do the latest lodging industry trends mean for travel demand into 2025?
Join the CRC Travel Team on Wednesday, November 20 at 1:00 pm ET as we walk through the latest travel industry dynamics during our Where We Are Headed In Lodging Webinar.
We will cover an in-depth look at the following topics:
• Macro picture and lodging sector outlook for 4Q 2024 / early look at 2025
• Takeaways from our latest proprietary monthly lodging survey
• Demand path for airlines, cruise lines, and short-term rentals
• CRC’s forecasts by travel segment, hotel chain, region, and demand segment (leisure, corporate, group)
• Themes from travel companies’ 3Q results and initial ’25 commentary
Q&A will also be available with the CRC Team, so we encourage you to share this with other members of your organization.
