Melia Hotels Posts 46% Revenue Jump On Higher Rates, Bookings

The above news follows news from last month that Spanish chain Melia Hotels International on Thursday 11 May reported a 46% jump in revenue for the first quarter, slightly topping pre-pandemic levels, and forecast better sales for the summer as resort bookings were 30% higher than in 2019.

Total revenue in the quarter stood at €396 million, up from 271 million a year earlier, when the tourism sector was still affected by COVID-19 restrictions, and about 1% higher than before the pandemic.

The Mallorca-based group's net attributable loss dwindled to around €500,000 from €59.3 million in the same period last year. Melia ended last year with a profit after two years of pandemic-induced losses.
