LANGLEY, UK, May 24, 2022 – Travelport, a global technology company that powers travel bookings for hundreds of airlines and thousands of hotels worldwide, today released the below booking trends and data highlighting the top international and domestic destinations for US travel taking place between the Memorial Day and Labor Day holidays in the US. While showcasing the top international and domestic destinations for the US, there are encouraging signs for the US travel and tourism industry’s recovery following two years of border closures and travel restrictions.
Strengthening Travel Recovery in 2022
According to Travelport’s booking data, for summer trips booked in January through the end of April this year, the US recovered 66% of its pre-pandemic international travel bookings, when comparing to international summer trips booked during the same time period in 2019. US travelers eager to head abroad are causing an upward trend in international flight bookings from the US in recent weeks as more international borders re-open and countries around the world are easing their travel restrictions for entry.
While domestic travel recovery rates have outpaced international travel recovery in the US for nearly 2 years, in February 2022, the recovery rate for international travel bookings from the US peaked – and briefly surpassed the domestic travel recovery rate for the first time since the pandemic began.
