In contrast, South America and Asia-Pacific regions showed robust growth, with night bookings increasing by over 20% and around 15%, respectively [5][6]. - The overall night booking growth rate would have reached 11% if North America was excluded from the calculations, highlighting the importance of emerging markets in offsetting declines in mature markets [5].
