The business’s third quarter ended on September 30, 2020. The quarter’s RevPAR, or Revenue Per Available Room, dropped 59.9 percent from the same quarter in 2019. Net loss was $81 million for the last three months. However, Hilton is still showing signs of growth and recovery. Ninety-seven percent of Hilton’s hotels were opened as of November 2, 2020. More than 17,000 new rooms were added this past quarter, too. Adjusted EBITDA earnings (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was $244 million. "Our third quarter results show meaningful improvement over the second quarter," President and CEO of Hilton, Christopher J. Nassetta, said. "The vast majority of our properties around the world are now open and have gradually begun to recover from the limitations that the COVID-19 pandemic has imposed on the travel industry, with occupancy increasing more than 20 percentage points from the second quarter. While a full recovery will take time, we are well positioned to capture rising demand and execute on growth opportunities." From April to September, growth in occupancy has grown worldwide on an average of 32 percent, a steady increase. With cases rising in Europe and the United States, the fourth quarter could see this increase dropping, at least slightly. For more information, please visit Hilton.com.

The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) is asking people once again hitting the road as coronavirus restrictions are lifted to protect themselves and others by wearing masks.
Scientific evidence from countries emerging more rapidly from the viral pandemic where the use of face masks has been widely implemented was cited by WTTC officials. Harvard experts have revealed that on all modes of transport, within entertainment venues and anywhere communication with others is possible, travellers should wear facial coverings. The WTTC calls on governments and the private sector to inform travelers of their responsibilities to protect their health and those of fellow visitors in order to help make the protocol more widely recognized and implemented. The #wear2care campaign of the WTTC tells visitors that wearing a mask will minimize the risk of infection, protect the consumer and those around them, and reintroduce a sense of normality as before a cure is identified, the industry learns to live with the virus. "It is of paramount importance to the safety and hygiene of travelers and those working in Travel & Tourism, which is why we now strongly recommend that masks be mandatory," said WTTC President Gloria Guevara. "Wear to Care promotes the protection of users of face masks and visibly demonstrates that they care about their fellow travelers' well-being and safety, which will help save lives and encourage the return of Safe Travels." "It should not be politicised to wear masks," Guevara said. “Wearing a mask needs to become part of everyday life to ensure everyone enjoys travelling in safety until a vaccine for COVID-19 is found. We implore the private sector and global governments to encourage their use so wearing a mask becomes the new normal.” Moreover, WTTC has recently released new Safe & Smooth Travel recommendations, including checking and tracing, regular handwashing, hand sanitizer use, social distancing, and more. For the global travel & tourism industry, the Safe Travels Protocols were developed which focused on measures to safely drive business to car hire companies, airports, tour operators, attra ctions and other travel sectors. |
