Marriott International Reports First Quarter 2023 Results and Raises Full Year Outlook

Anthony Capuano, President and Chief Executive Officer - Marriott International

Anthony Capuano, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are off to a great start in 2023. First quarter worldwide RevPAR[1] grew 34 percent year over year, with meaningful gains in both occupancy and average daily rate. International markets were particularly robust, with RevPAR growth of 63 percent. The lifting of travel restrictions throughout Asia Pacific, particularly in Greater China, significantly boosted first quarter demand in the region.

“In the U.S. & 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 percent year over year, aided by higher special corporate negotiated rates and 15 percent growth in group ADR.

“Our industry-leading pipeline grew to approximately 502,000 rooms, up 2.6 percent from the year-ago quarter end. Conversion activity remained healthy, accounting for 29 percent of rooms signed and 25 percent of rooms opened in the quarter. We still expect net rooms growth of 4 to 4.5 percent for full year 2023.

“We were thrilled to welcome City Express to our lineup as our 31st brand yesterday, further broadening our brand portfolio into the midscale space. With roughly 17,000 rooms joining our system, we are now the largest hotel company in the Caribbean & Latin America region. Demand for the mid-scale segment is growing rapidly, and we see meaningful opportunity to both expand the brand further in CALA and introduce it in other regions.

“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. We believe our broad portfolio of brands, award-winning Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program, dedicated associates, and efficient asset-light business model position us very well for future growth.”- Link Directly to source: Marriott International Reports First Quarter 2023 Results and Raises Full Year Outlook
