5 big signs that travel is roaring back
CNN
Vacation deprivation is about to be replaced by a travel boom, according to Expedia CEO Peter Kern.
He told CNN's Julia Chatterley earlier this week that people are beginning to think about their future travel "very quickly." Reservations on the travel website for some parts of the United States this summer are "all booked up" and he expects Europe will soon follow as the number of vaccinations grow. Of course, "normalcy" for the travel industry is still a long way off because of the lack of business travel and the continued closure of many international borders. And the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is still urging Americans — even those who have been vaccinated — not to travel.More Related News
