NEW YORK (Reuters) – Marriott International Inc reported second-quarter revenue and profit above expectations on Tuesday, boosted by the recovery in tourism.

The American hotel group, parent company of Ritz-Carlton, reported adjusted earnings of $1.80 per share, while analysts on average expected $1.56, according to Refinitiv data.

Marriott’s second-quarter revenue for its part rose 70% year-on-year to $5.34 billion, versus the $4.92 billion expected by analysts.

Marriott said it expects adjusted earnings per share to beat expectations for the third quarter.

The stock gained about 2% in pre-market trading.
