As vaccines are becoming more widespread and the decrease in COVID-19 cases continues, people are feeling more comfortable getting back out to travel. The country is seeing a huge spike in travel for 2021. Travelers are itching to see new destinations and to make up for lost time with a vengeance. This new trend is referred to as “Revenge Travel”. This is a celebratory way to show that COVID-19 is losing it’s power to control lives and plans to travel- also known as “pandemic payback”.

Whether travelers are looking to take a much-needed vacation, get back to travel for business, or reconnect with family, the desire to travel is stronger than ever. Throughout the past year, people have learned to appreciate the convenience of travel and to no longer take it for granted. Travelers are planning trips with caution and flexibility so they can adjust their plans as needed. The travel industry is primarily seeing the uptick in domestic travel but expects international travel to follow later. Travelers are looking for destinations that allow for time outside- many are heading to the beach or national parks for hiking.
