By Rod Clough, MAI, CRE, MRICS After consistent RevPAR growth above expectations this year, we have updated our RevPAR growth forecast for 2026 from 2.2% to 3.0%. Our forecast reflects continued favorable RevPAR growth this year, but at levels moderately below those posted from March through early May, as last year’s performance during those weeks was affected by the initial launch of DOGE efforts and the tariffs announcements, which shook the economy and influenced travel.
