The Long Awaited Road to Recovery: Hotels, Airlines, and Consumers in Our Transitional Reality

August 3, 2021

The travel industry is finally on its long-awaited road to recovery — U.S. travel restrictions are easing for vaccinated individuals and international travel is resuming in higher numbers.

This white paper explores what recovery looks like for the hotel and airline sectors, analyzes consumer trends and how to increase their comfort in travel, and examines the post-pandemic staffing situation in the travel industry.

Readers will also learn about:
  • Consumers’ travel budget plans
  • Why digital nomads are a lucrative market
  • How Salesforce can assist with mitigating staff shortages and scheduling
  • Features travelers appreciate in public and private lodging accommodations
