Booking’s Credit Card, Marriott’s Slower Growth and Spain’s Rental Crackdown
Description
Booking.com has introduced its first U.S. credit card, offering travel credits instead of traditional points to encourage more direct bookings and grow its U.S. market presence. Marriott reduced its full-year revenue forecast due to sluggish performance in the U.S., citing weak demand, holiday timing, and reduced government travel. In Spain, thousands of unregistered short-term rentals face delisting under a new law requiring properties to display a registration number, with enforcement beginning mid-August.
