Economic disruptions, including as a result of elevated interest rates and elevated rates of inflation may adversely affect our business. Inflationary concerns can affect both consumer sentiment and demand for travel, as well as increase labor or other costs to maintain or operate hotels that cannot be reduced without adversely affecting business growth or hotel value. However, we have relied on the performance of our hotels and active asset management to mitigate the effects of inflation, which is expected to continue to stabilize, and current macroeconomic uncertainty. During the second quarter of 2024, we continued to experience improvements in overall demand across our portfolio, although average daily rate ("ADR") growth has slowed as the industry recovery has stabilized and seasonal patterns have normalized. While there can be no assurances that we will not experience further fluctuations in hotel revenues or earnings at our hotels due to inflation and other macroeconomic factors, local economic factors and demand, a potential economic slowdown or a recession and geopolitical conflicts, we expect the positive momentum to continue for the remainder of 2024 based on current demand trends, expected increases in city-wide events and as demand from international travel continues to improve.
