May 6 (Reuters) - Hotel operator Marriott International MAR.O raised its room revenue growth forecast for 2026 on Wednesday, betting that strong U.S. travel demand would drive bookings for its properties.
The Bethesda, Maryland-based company expects 2026 revenue per available room (revPAR) — a key lodging metric that tracks average daily rate and occupancy — to grow between 2% and 3%, compared with its prior forecast of a 1.5% to 2.5% increase.
