The travel sector is expanding as the pandemic fades. According to Hopper, a mobile app that tracks flights and hotels for the best bargains, searches for the best travel destinations this summer were 66% domestic and 34% foreign.
Prior to COVID-19, the domestic-to-international mix was usually 52 percent domestic and 48 percent foreign. "Europe has always been a changing target," says Nick Ewen, senior editor of travel website The Points Guy. " With relatively low vaccination rates, I see constraints."
As of mid-May, just after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that vaccinated people don't need to wear masks in most places, 1.7 million travelers had passed through TSA checkpoints this year, which is about seven times higher than for all of 2020, though still a million fewer than in May 2019.
