"Delta CEO amazed as 'revenge travel' fuels $300B tourism boom in America"

Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian revealed that Americans' thirst for "revenge travel" is beyond anything that people can classify as truly pent-up, with a gap of $300 billion in inherent demand for U.S. travel that couldn't be met over the past three years. Delta is currently seeing demand it's never seen before, and there's no end in sight. The pandemic forced people to reevaluate the importance of travel in their lives, making it a need rather than a want. Delta has adjusted to how revenge travel is sweeping the nation by eliminating change fees from their products and hiring over 25,000 people to meet demand.
