Where We Are Headed in Lodging Webinar

The U.S. economy has hung in there through 2Q despite rising fears of a slowdown back in Mar/Apr. Over the same time frame, the travel industry has shown mixed signals. Recent airline commentary points to hope for an improved 2H after a disappointing 1H. Cruise demand continues to soar while short term rental demand looks bumpy. Hotel demand remains underwhelming, limited by soft leisure, gov cutbacks, corporate uncertainty, and steep declines in international inbound U.S. visitation. Total U.S. RevPAR growth was down ~0.5% in 2Q following ~2% growth in 1Q, and 3Q appears off to a slow start in July. Yet recent hotel company commentary seems to indicate opportunity for “green shoots.”

Has domestic leisure finally bottomed? Are group bookings (bright spot in hotel demand the past 12 months) holding up through the 2H and what’s the early read on ‘26? What do corporate travel bookings suggest for the next few months? What does changing international tourism flows mean for the U.S.?
