Economic Headwinds and Geopolitical Tensions Will Likely Impact Hotel Performance Through 2024 According to PwC
Hospitality Directions | November 13, 2023
Leisure demand, while still strong, began to soften in the back half of this year for US hotels, as other parts of the world continued to reopen their vacation destinations and leisure travelers began to once again feel safe traveling abroad.
