Demand seasonality for Wyndham Hotels & Resorts' products and services is a factor the company monitors. The company expects marketing fund revenues to roughly equal expenses during the full year, though the seasonality of spend will affect quarterly comparisons. The summer travel season is typically watched for signs of improved consumer sentiment and sustained momentum in U.S. RevPAR. Historically, the lodging industry, particularly select-service hotels like those franchised by Wyndham, has shown resilience during economic downturns, outperforming other segments. While U.S. RevPAR experienced some softness in 2025, international RevPAR showed growth, particularly in EMEA and Latin America.
