James Ferrara, InteleTravel’s President and co-founder is seeing some interesting trends in the US travel market & general economy recovery.
According to him, cruises are leading the recovery. A 300% increase in bookings has been seen since mid-april, and in the last 3 weeks it has doubled again
Where are people looking to go?
Keep in mind this is mostly for the 4th quarter, and 1st quarter of the next year.
People are choosing places where they don’t have to take a plane to get there.
Places like:
– The Caribbean
– Domestic river cruises (the Mississippi river, the Great Lakes, the Columbia river)
Also, while the entire season has been canceled in Alaska, small ships are still allowed to cruise.
The right time to travel is when is it safe, but we are getting very close to that. How are you preparing for the return of travel?
