Hoping that the worst of the pandemic is behind it, Marriott announced losses of nearly $234 million in the second quarter.

Revenue per available room (RevPar) for the world’s largest hospitality brand dropped more than 84% worldwide, while North American occupancy rose to nearly 20% on average, reaching nearly 34% by the end of July. 

This quarter was predicted to show the full extent of the pandemic, as Marriott had earned $31 million in revenue during the first quarter.
