2022 Q1 Newsletter
After two years of watching the travel industry recovery navigate various obstacles, news outlets are reporting a pent-up demand for travel spending, with Americans alone adding nearly $4 trillion to their savings during the pandemic.
Is the Travel Industry Finally in Recovery Mode?
For two years, we have watched our hopes of a rapid travel industry recovery hit a series of roadblocks. Delta and Omicron delayed border openings and prompted the U.S. Department of State to flag most of Western Europe as “Level 4” for health risks. As we write this, the current sanctions on Russia have inflated fuel costs, created more volatility for the airlines, and caused travelers to worry if the fighting in Ukraine will be contained.
Our Approach Returning to Travel
Like all of you, we’ve watched the events of 2020 and 2021 unfold while travel took a backseat to the health and safety of those around the world. As more and more places reopen, ATA is hard at work ensuring that our partners and guests have a safe travel experience.
