Last year, we were stuck home for the holidays. We stay connected with loved ones through FaceTime and Zoom but were forced to cancel our travel plans. While 2021 was still a challenging year in many ways, traveling has become much more possible and more importantly, much safer.
We are feeling optimistic looking ahead at some of the 2021 holiday travel trends that we will be engaging in some fun travel experiences this season and into the New Year!
It’s no secret that travel is on the rise. A survey taken by Vacasa has shown that about 47-percent of people plan to travel this holiday season, with 20-percent still unsure about their travel plans.
While 49-percent have said they will change their plans if there is a COVID-19 spike, that number is down nearly three-quarters from 2020. People are highly motivated to travel this year after being unable to last holiday season. 40-percent had to change their travel plans last year, compared to 19-percent this year. It is great to see these numbers moving in a positive direction!

To help make traveling less hectic during the holidays, 61-percent of people working full or part-time have agreed that working remotely allows them to avoid the busiest travel days. Additionally, 57-percent that working remotely gives them the opportunity and flexibility to extend their trips.
