Total inbound foreign visitors were 27% below pre-pandemic 2019 levels, while the number of Americans traveling to Europe and the Caribbean increased by 5% and 8%, respectively. Hotel wage growth slowed in June but at 5.2% outpaced the national average of 4.7%. Hotel wage growth pressures are likely to persist, at least for the near term. Leisure markets remained the strongest RevPAR performers relative to 2019; however, Q2 RevPAR declined from last year in several of them, including West Palm Beach, Savannah, Phoenix and St. Petersburg. Occupancy rates for all location types were below 2019 levels in Q2.
