Travel confidence booming
According to the latest Longwoods International tracking study of American travelers, travel intentions remain strong, with nine in ten planning a trip during the next six months.
Thirty-nine percent of travelers have their next trip planned in the next 60 days, setting up a busy Spring Break travel season.
Equally encouraging, seven in ten travelers now feel safe traveling outside their community, with this result now reaching pre-Omicron levels.
“Spring and summer travel look strong for 2022,” said Amir Eylon, President and CEO of Longwoods International.
“With Covid-19 restrictions and mandates being dropped across the country, most travelers are comfortable with these developments. This wave’s data confirms Americans are ready to move on from the pandemic.”
Travelers continue to voice strong support for small, local-owner restauranteurs and retailers, many of whom have suffered significant business declines throughout the two-year pandemic.
The majority of travelers chose to shop local on vacation to support small businesses..
The survey, supported by Miles Partnership, was fielded February 16, 2022 using a national sample randomly drawn from a consumer panel of 1,000 adults, ages 18 and over.
