A new study from Google has revealed key trends expected to shape travel and tourism's recovery from the pandemic next year.
The Ipsos survey, commissioned by Google revealed an increase of interest around "life moments" people had postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
From the data, Google also projects travel will become more inclusive and purposeful in 2022.
Postponed life events
After lockdowns and travel restrictions saw countless events cancelled or postponed, the study found more than half (56 per cent) of Americans expect to participate in a significant life event (such as a wedding, move, or new job) within the next two years. Of that group, 78 per cent saw those moments involving travel.
Valuing value
When they do travel for life moments and need to book accommodation or flights, 85 per cent said affordable pricing was the most important consideration.
