Marriott reiterated its optimism about international tourism, supported by the FIFA World Cup, and expects the uplift to continue in the third quarter. It expects 2026 revenue per available room – a key lodging metric that acts as a proxy for pricing power – to grow between 2 percent and 3 percent, compared with a 1.5 to 2.5 percent increase forecast earlier. Its shares gained about 2 percent. CEO Anthony Capuano said travel and experiences remained a priority over consumption of hard goods across demographics, and the shift was visible even in lower-income households.Marriott reiterated its optimism about international tourism, supported by the FIFA World Cup, and expects the uplift to continue in the third quarter.
