In this episode, we look at how companies that provide leisure and hospitality services like lodging, casinos, restaurants and cruises are faring. Our research shows that despite growing economic pressures and high inflation many consumers are still eager to splash the cash on entertainment and experiences.

Then, at 8:22 minutes, we delve into the world of cinema where many operators are grappling with the credit effects of debt-funded investments made before the pandemic, subsequent shifts in the entertainment landscape and rising costs.
