This is the first iteration of Delitte's Hliday Travel Sunvey (our second Teisure Travelreporof2020. and what an interesting time to take the pulse of the American leisure traveler. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, many in the United States and around the world have fet the frustration of not being able to travel. Bans. restrictions, and general concernhave delayed family gatherings and nixed dream trips. Travel certainly is not the most acute or consequential pandemic loss, butitis high on the list of experiences many have missed and long to return to. And Americans ore returningto the roads and skies, as well as hotels and rentals. but health and financial concerns are keeping some . home and limiting options for many others. Atroubling trend of bifurcation. with high-income households returmning to travel muCh . faster than low-income households, has strengthened since our summer survey. And Americans over 55 also are laggingin the return . to travel, primarily citing health concerns. Our sunveys are uncovering plenty of reasons to hope for leisure travel's robust rebound. Very close to half (4796) of 35-t0-54-year-olds plan to travel over the holiday season. And while the dropping out of many lowerincome travelers is concerning. the enthusiastic plans of wealthier travelers indicates that a year without trave| did not dampen the desire to explore. Travel options remain limited. Many international destinations are dfficult or impossible to reach, and travel still feels unsafe to many. perhaps especially to older Americans and those with unvaccinated children. The darkest days of COVID-19 may be behind us, butthe pandemic is sill not in the rear view. If our findings a this moment are any indicator, the comeback has onlyjust begun.A representative sample of 6,512 Americans took this survey. Of those, 2,759 qualified as travelers.A smaller subset of 1,501 who are staying in paid lodging, rather than only with friends and relatives,completed the longest version of the survey. Please refer to source lines for clarification onquestions asked and sample sizes.Throughout the report, readers will notice several references to travelers' longest trips. Because most travelers will take multiple trips across the season, including a mix of family visits, returns to traditional holiday haunts, and adventures in new destinations, we thought it would be useful to delve into travelers' longest trips involving a stay in paid lodging. We believe that patterns and trends in the longest trip provide deeper insight into travel decisions and purchase trends.
