"Modest economic growth combined with historically low supply increases in the industry helped us post 5.2% systemwide REVPAR growth in North America," said Arne M. Sorenson, President and CEO of Marriott. "Both business and leisure transient demand were strong in the quarter, more than offsetting weak short-term group business. As occupancy rates reach 2007 peak levels for many brands, room rates are moving higher, improving hotel profitability and incentive fees."
