Marriott International CEO Anthony Capuano touted another “terrific” quarter during the company’s Q3 earnings call Thursday, telling analysts that global travel demand “has remained strong” across the board.<\/p>\n
International demand continued to be a standout, however, with Marriott’s international RevPAR up 22% on the same period in 2022, driven primarily by “significant gains” across Asia.<\/p>\n
“We’re within a percentage point of getting back to prepandemic levels of cross-border travel,” said Capuano, who added that more “upside is still expected to come in Asia-Pacific,” as international airlift in Greater China is expected to ramp up from around 15% of 2019’s capacity in the third quarter to around 60% by the end of this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Demand from outbound U.S. and Canadian travelers also helped boost international performance. According to Capuano, third-quarter leisure room nights from U.S. and Canadian guests traveling outside the region were up nearly 25% over last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Also showing “remarkable” strength in Q3 was group demand, which Capuano said is “expected to continue to be a meaningful driver of revenue growth going forward.” In the U.S. and Canada, Marriott’s fourth-quarter 2023 group revenues were projected be up 12% year over year at the end of September, with full-year group revenue pacing up 19%.<\/p>\n
Marriott’s leisure demand also remained robust, with global leisure revenue up 9% on the same quarter last year and leisure revenue in the U.S. and Canada rising 4% during the same period.<\/p>\n
Lastly, business transient demand continued a trend of “slow and steady” progress, as business transient revenue in the U.S. and Canada also increased 4%, bolstered in part by “nice, sequential improvement in demand” from companies within the technology and finance sectors.<\/p>\n
For the third quarter, Marriott reported systemwide RevPAR growth of 8.8%, to nearly $130. Occupancy for the quarter increased 3.2 percentage points to 72.1%, while ADR was up 4.1%, to roughly $180.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Marriott reported the company posted third-quarter net income of $752 million, compared with of $630 million in the year-ago quarter. Revenue for the period totaled $5.9 billion, up from $5.3 billion in Q3 of 2022.<\/p>\n
