Despite economic uncertainty and dwindling household savings, the post-pandemic travel boom continues, with international travel reaching around 90% of pre-pandemic levels this year. Airlines, hotels, and analysts report that travel remains a top priority for consumers, with strong bookings and travel demand leading to record earnings for travel companies.
