And there is this idea out there, I think it was Dana Telsey who said the fact that you have seen some of those European handbag makers raise their prices, that maybe that's given you a little bit more room

especially when it comes to that $200 to $500 range to bump up your prices as well.

Is that something that you agree with?

And how much time do you spend paying attention to what exactly your competitors are doing when it comes to their pricing?

Podcasts, radio, news.

I am curious, though, Ellie, you have no concerns right now about some of the immigration issues here in the U.S.

potentially maybe dampening

just how many people would actually travel, foreign travelers that is, into the US for these events?

Well, on that point here, are you seeing any material difference in demand for, I guess, your high properties versus low?

So say something like a Holiday Inn on the lower end of the price spectrum all the way up to, you know, the Intercontinentals, Crowns, Kemptons and those things on the higher end.

Sure.

All right, Ellie, we have to leave it there.

I really appreciate you joining us here.

And I think we've got to check back in as we get closer, of course, to what's going on with the World Cup here in North America.

Talk us through the main growth drivers that you see when you take a look over the course of this year.

Well, I'm glad you brought up consumer health and some of the partnerships you have, Whoop and Aura being some of them.

You also have partnerships with HIMSS and Function Health, I see as well.

How do you see that part of the business evolving?

How meaningful of a growth driver can that be?
