Boston Real Estate Owners are Hitting the Road.
Whether it’s to reunite with grandparents or an escape from work-from-home, Americans have set their sights on summer travel amid mass vaccination efforts.
Searches for late flights on travel apps such as Hopper have increased by about 75 percent since February, the New York Times reported. More people hit KAYAK too, with its search traffic growing up to 27 percent each week.
This booking boom comes a year into the pandemic, which sent the U.S. hotel market’s occupancy rates down to 41.6 percent for 2020. That’s worse than it was during the Great Depression.
There’s been a steady increase in hotel occupancy as of late, with the number hitting 49 percent in early March, the highest since August. In a poll for road-trip site Amazing America, more than 75 percent of respondents said they believed it would be safe to travel this summer, the Times reported.
