Accor’s Optimistic Outlook
Skift Take
- Marriott Vacations missed expectations with their 4Q report, primarily due to their exchange and rental businesses as their core VOI business outperformed.
- Chatham Lodging Trust reported an in-line 4Q for EBITDA. They did not give 2023 guidance.
- Accor reported good results and forecast higher RevPAR for 2023, very optimistic due to the return of the Chinese traveler.

Chatham Lodging Trust reported an in-line 4Q for EBITDA. They did not give 2023 guidance.
