Q3 RevPAR increased 10% versus 2022 and 13% versus 2019, representing the fifth quarter of sequential improvement exceeding pre-pandemic highs. Greater China continued its excellent rebound with RevPAR now above 2019, which the Americas achieved in the second quarter of last year and EMEAA in the fourth quarter. Group-wide occupancy was 72%, just one percentage point behind 2019 which further confirms the near-complete return to pre-Covid levels of demand. Pricing remained very robust. As well as year on year RevPAR growth in each of our three regions, it was also pleasing to see rooms revenue growth for each of leisure, business and group travel.
