Hilton CEO: No Slump in Travel Demand Expected Despite Global Uncertainty

Hilton CEO Confident in 2025 Growth Despite Global Uncertainty NEW YORK, June 2, 2025 – Hilton Worldwide CEO Chris Nassetta expressed confidence in the company's growth trajectory for the next 2-3 years, even amidst current global economic and political uncertainty. In an interview with CNBC, Nassetta stated, "It's not holding us back from a growth point of view yet." He acknowledged a temporary slowdown in certain parts of the world earlier this year, describing it as "relatively short-lived." The CEO attributed the brief dip to market reactions to tariff discussions, stating that "when the ground is moving under your feet, people tend to freeze up." However, Nassetta emphasized that the company has seen a stabilization of growth and anticipates a positive trend to continue through the remainder of the year. The video also shows the positive growth of Hilton's stock price, supporting Nassetta's claims. The outlook from Hilton's CEO offers a positive signal for the hospitality industry and the broader economy, suggesting resilience in the face of global challenges.
