“The good news is that the holiday periods continue to look strong. Thanksgiving is coming up, and for the Christmas holiday we're seeing some of that pick up and on-the-books data continue to show strength,” said Hannah Weller-Barrise, Director of Hospitality Solutions and Pulse Report Author at Duetto.
“Historically, we have seen a bit of a resort/city divide in terms of North America. But one thing that's interesting that this round of data suggests is that cities like New York have signs of positivity as we look ahead to November, December, and even into next year. And it is exciting to see that.”
