FEATURED REPORT
Travel and COVID-19
- September 24, 2021How quickly will tourism recover?
Since the introduction of COVID-19 vaccines last winter, the travel industry has been navigating a recovery after its revenue dropped by nearly 50 percent in 2020. The beginning of this summer was a time of increased travel, especially domestic leisure travel in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. But the emergence of the virus' Delta variant delivered another setback, causing people to cancel or postpone trips once again and prompting many destinations to enact fresh restrictions on movement and requirements for mask-wearing.
