There`s a degree of optimism in the U.S. travel market despite the bumpy political backdrop of recent months, the chief executive of British hotel giant, IHG, told CNBC on Monday.
"Not so far, it`s not something we`ve seen yet and I guess we`ll have to see what happens over time.
"Fundamentally, not just in the U.S. but also in China actually and to some extent here in Europe, we`re seeing quite a lot of bullishness and we`re signing literally more deals that we have done since 2008," he revealed.
The CEO of the group, which counts brands including InterContinental Hotels and Crowne Plaza under its umbrella, said that U.S. politics had not yet seemed to have impacted business negatively.
The new executive order retains a 90-day ban on travel to the U.S. by citizens of Iran, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen but now only targets those who are new visa applicants and also removes Iraq from the list.
