When news of potential coronavirus vaccines arrived, the world sighed with collective relief.
Despite the fact that vaccinations may not be available to everyone in the United States until May 2021, some people immediately began planning their next vacation.
Skyscanner’s travel search engine told Insider that on November 9, 2020, when news of Pfizer’s promising vaccine went on, the search for economy class back and forth from the United States increased by 39% from the previous day. Bookings jumped 25%.
Similarly, on November 16, 2020, when the news of the promising Moderna vaccine arrived, the search for economy class back and forth from the United States increased by 63% compared to the previous day. Bookings accounted for 17%.
On November 9, experimental travelers held their possible trips at a fairly local level, with U.S. destinations accounting for the top 10 locations.
However, what The American cities sought by Americans came as a surprise as much of the list consisted of big cities, with New York, Los Angeles and Miami rounding out the top three spots.
While the epidemic caused travelers to bypass big cities instead of small towns, camping, and road trips, vaccination news put big cities back at the top of people’s bucket lists.
More interestingly, once the news of a second potentially viable vaccine appeared, travelers began to dream yet larger, international destinations from London to Munich are the top 10 most sought after destinations.
Most experts predicted a boom in travel
Mark Crossey, a Skyscanner U.S. travel expert, said U.S. travelers are encouraged by most airlines ’scrapped switching fees.
“The emergence of truly flexible travel fares has not gone unnoticed and U.S. travelers are reaping the benefits,” he said, adding that low fares and flexibility are likely to persist for some time to encourage bookings.
He added that the news post following the vaccination only shows how unwavering Americans are toward travel.
Insider reported in April that many experts had predicted this, and agreed that while the question of when and how long to get there is unclear, the trip would be it bounces back quickly.
“People’s desire to travel is flexible,” a TripAdvisor spokesman said earlier in a statement to Insider. “What we’ve seen during SARS, Ebola, terrorist attacks and a number of natural disasters is that the travel industry has always boomed.”
“People have to travel. It’s a fundamental aspect of what it is to be human,” Ross Dawson, author and futurist, told Insider in April.
Konrad Waliszewski, CEO and co-founder of TripScout, told Insider that he sees the news of the vaccine as “the first major moral boom since March” for travelers.
“It takes a few months for us to see the effect, but it finally lights up at the end of the tunnel, which we can all see,” he said. “Traffic has skyrocketed at Tripscout since the news. It’s almost entirely inspiring to get ideas on where to travel in 2021, but the migration is finally back.”
