Isn't hosting the Olympics supposed to be a gold mine for hotels? Not for France, at least. Accor warned that it didn't expect a "massive financial uplift" from Paris hosting the Summer Olympic Games.
Global tourism is set to fully recover from the pandemic in 2024 as international tourist arrivals will likely be 2% more numerous than in 2019, the United Nations' World Tourism Organisation said in January. Accor's revenue per available room (RevPAR), one of the industry's main performance gauges, rose 7.6% to 66 euros in the quarter. The increase was more pronounced in midscale, upscale and economy hotels in the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific regions, where it grew by 12% on the back of bookings in Saudi Arabia during Ramadan and the recovery of tourism in Singapore and Thailand.
