It’s still a tumultuous time for international travel, but in mid-October, TSA reported over one million fliers were screened on one day — more than ten times the numbers seen in April.
TourRadar recently saw a similar increase of 246% in bookings in October compared to earlier this year in April. Traveller numbers are still well below those of last year, but we’re slowly approaching an upward trend.
With 2020 winding down, and after months of staying indoors, Americans are eager to get out and explore the world again in 2021 as safely as possible.
TourRadar recently dug into their user data to find out which U.S. states (+ Washington D.C.) per capita are still touring.
