“The power of the Tennis Australia partnership in 2024 saw our member penetration rise from approximately 50 per cent to over 70 per cent during the tournament. We operated at high occupancy throughout the tournament and are currently pacing in line with last year. We also achieved an increase in revenue per available room year on year. Over 14 million Marriott Bonvoy points were burnt during the tournament, highlighting the interest from our global and local members in the experiences we curate as part of the partnership programming.“
