Reports of the high efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine, which is being produced by Pfizer and BioNTech as well as Moderna, were one of the key news stories that helped the growth of Marriott International in November. Marriott International should predict at least a partial return of visitors to hotels and resorts if mass vaccination begins in the coming months. In addition, after the lifting of restrictions, the firm assumes that the delayed demand will be a catalyst for a rapid recovery.

Over the previous year, Marriott International noted a 66 percent decrease in average revenue per bed, indicating that the industry as a whole is in decline. The sales of the company declined by 57% year-on-year, to $2.25 billion. Strong cost control, however, resulted in $0.06 per share in adjusted earnings. That was down from $1.47 per share a year earlier, but better than the $0.08 per share expected loss.
