“We are grateful to our owners and colleagues who helped us achieve a strong 2023 with more than 250 signings and openings worldwide and over 30,000 keys added to our portfolio, our highest ever. We expect 2024 to be a continuation of 2023, with slower inflation and continued investor appetite in our sector.”
