Pricewaterhouse Coopers U.S.'s updated lodging forecast expects the focus to shift from demand growth to average daily rate gains, as pricing power returns against the backdrop of an earlier-than-expected lodging recovery. Recent performance in the lodging sector has run ahead of expectations. Solid lodging results in the third quarter and the strengthening outlook for the fourth quarter have more than offset slightly weaker near-term expectations for the economy. As a result, our current lodging forecast anticipates stronger occupancy and ADR gains in 2011 than our previous outlook.
