It’s no secret that the travel industry was hit hard by the pandemic. 2020 was the worst year in tourism history with one billion fewer international arrivals according to the UNWTO World Tourism Barometer.

Even now, consumer travel spending is still 5% below 2019 levels, an improvement over the regression from Omicron in January, according to the U.S. Travel Association. Nearly six in 10 American are planning at least one trip despite rising gas prices, though American travelers say the gas prices will impact their decision to travel over the next six months.
