Sébastien Bazin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Accor, said:
“Half-year activity growth was very strong across all of our brands and markets. These good performances are underpinned by the rigorous execution of our strategy, the attractiveness of our brands and the commitment of our teams. This momentum should continue for the coming months, driven by robust demand in both leisure and business tourism. The performance enables us to raise our 2023 guidance and to continue investing in our brands, talents and digital tools.”
Business trends in Q2 2023 were solid in the Group’s two divisions. Hotel demand from both leisure and business guests remained buoyant. This was shown by the improvement in occupancy rates and a sustained increase in average room rates.
These results enable the Group to raise its full-year EBITDA guidance presented at the Capital Markets Day on June 27th, 2023.
