Hotel giant Marriott says second-quarter earnings rose as business and leisure travelers continue to book hotel rooms and pay slightly more for them.
The company, based in Bethesda, Md., said Wednesday that it earned $179 million, or 57 cents a share, in the three-month period ended June 30. That’s up from $143 million, or 42 cents per share, a year ago.
A change in the company’s fiscal year meant seven extra days in the quarter this year compared to last year.
