Yet despite all odds, 61% of those surveyed said they plan to travel this summer, up from the 49% who said the same in summer 2021. Some 56% of adults are more likely to stay in a hotel this summer than they were in 2022, according to the AHLA/Morning Consult survey. Booking Holdings is also an analyst favorite, with an average rating of overweight and 10% upside to the average price target, per FactSet. While prices are still high, the latest consumer price index for April showed the airline fares index fell 2.6% month over month, after rising in February and March. Airlines are essentially sold out for summer travel, according to TD Cowen analyst Helane Becker.

America has a problem, says Bonnie Low-Kramen: Many of the country's CEOs are losing their sense of humanity. Much of the problem stems from a lack of interpersonal skills, Low-Kramen says. Low-Kramen's fix, for any level of the workplace: Develop your soft skills. Three soft skills — the "three Vs" — particularly matter in today's environment, Low-Kramen says. The transparency didn't keep Hilton employees from feeling confused or unmoored at the time, but it helped provide them with a sense of stability, Low-Kramen says.
Hilton CEO on Q1 earnings beat

Share Share Article via Facebook Share Article via Twitter Share Article via LinkedIn Share Article via EmailHilton CEO on Q1 earnings beatHilton CEO Chris Nassetta joins 'Squawk on the Street' to discuss the demand Hilton's seen this year, his insights into business travel from tech and finance, and more.
Last week, Hilton Worldwide CEO Chris Nassetta said, "The demand trends here and now are really strong." In the home-rental space, Airbnb also said it was seeing continued strong demand at the start of 2023. China's reopening from its Covid lockdown is also helping propel travel demand, as well as the tick up in business travel, she said. "The trends have been really strong since January," he said. Airlines like Delta, American Airlines and United Airlines cited strong travel demand and higher fares for fueling their strong fourth-quarter earnings — as well as for forecasts for this year.
Hilton CEO Chris Nassetta says selling his black Porsche 944 was the best financial decision he ever made. "I spent all my money on that stupid car." Since 2007, Nassetta has driven something more practical: a four-door Lexus sedan he bought just after landing the top role at Hilton. In 2020, the mechanic called Nassetta to say he'd found someone nearby with the vehicle — but it was barely running. Together, Nassetta and the mechanic spent two years repairing the car, completing the project last May.
The job taught Nassetta, the 60-year-old CEO of Hilton Worldwide — a multinational hospitality company with a $38.86 billion market capitalization, as of Tuesday morning — more than just how hotels operate, he says. "Young people have so much access and information to knowledge, but you don't want to confuse that with experience." In contrast, some of his friends spent their 20s and 30s rising through the career ranks to powerful positions — and quickly flaming out, he says. On finding help in unexpected places: 'To this day ... you just don't know what you don't know'I like to think I work hard, I'm well educated, I'm reasonably smart. But even to this day, and certainly when I was in my 20s and 30s trying to figure things out, you just don't know what you don't know.

If a recession is looming, Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. so far is hardly feeling it.

People emerged from the pandemic with a new perspective on taking opportunities to get out, he says.

91% of US CEOs anticipate there will be recession in the next 12 months, according to a KPMG survey. The Fed will further raise interest rates to combat inflation, which will increase costs for businesses. Those interest rates also mean that credit card and loan debt will get more expensive. Musk told investors in October that "North America is in pretty good health," but pushed back on the Fed's decision to keep raising interest rates. Citadel CEO Ken Griffin"Everybody likes to forecast recessions, and there will be one," Citadel's billionaire CEO told CNBC in late September, noting that he thinks inflation has peaked.
The cost of business travel, from hotels to airfare, is set to rise through 2023 as demand returns more than two years after the Covid pandemic began, according to an industry report published Wednesday. Business travel airfare is on track to rise nearly 50% this year over 2021, following two years of steep declines, according to a report from travel management company CWT and the Global Business Travel Association. Airline and hotel executives have been upbeat about a return to business travel after Covid-19 and measures to curb its spread, like travel restrictions, forced companies to put many work trips on hold. While leisure travel has roared back from 2020 pandemic lows, business travel has lagged, depriving hotels and airlines of an important source of revenue. That's despite concerns about a slowing economy, travel industry labor shortages and other headaches, as some large corporations seek ways to cut back on spending.
