Duetto: Why 2021 could be a year of industry recovery

Duetto’s latest Pulse Report—which tracks data from June 15-28 across bookings, cancellations and web traffic—shows growing consumer confidence for stay dates in 2021.

On-the-books data for the second half of 2021 in North America is already pacing strongly ahead of the same time last year, which Duetto credits to groups rebooking their hotel blocks from earlier in the outbreak. As such, the company suggests 2021 could be a year of industry recovery.

North America’s Numbers

Comparing this report to the previous one (covering June 1-14), the latest numbers show double-digit growth in net new reservations during July, August and September 2020 at North American hotels.

The report suggests pick-up for the North American market is still pacing 42 percent behind the same time last year, although some markets are faring better than others. Nashville and Florida, for example, both saw positive growth in the second half of June, while Chicago, Los Angeles and New York reported stagnant or even declining numbers.
