Just weeks before the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off in June, the U.S. hospitality industry says the tournament is not driving as many hotel bookings as expected.
The United States is hosting the games for the first time since 1994, this time along with Mexico and Canada. But nearly 80 percent of hoteliers in the 11 U.S. host cities say bookings are tracking below their original forecasts, according to an American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) survey released on Monday.
