(Reuters) -Hotel operator Hilton Worldwide raised its forecast for 2024 profit on Wednesday, banking on international travel demand to remain strong and offset losses from normalizing domestic travel in the U.S.
It expects a full-year profit between $6.93 and $7.03 per share, compared with its previous forecast of $6.89 to $7.03.
Travel companies have been benefiting from a sustained rise in international travel as tourists flock to destinations in the Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Europe.
Adjusted profit came in at $1.91 per share, compared with $1.63 per share a year ago.
Total revenue for the quarter ended June 30 was $2.95 billion, up from $2.66 billion a year earlier.
