Year End US Holiday Plan Gets Disrupted by Storm
Airlines canceled more than 2,000 U.S. flights, disrupting holiday travel for thousands, as a powerful winter storm hit the United States. The extreme weather coincided with the start of a holiday travel season that could be one of the busiest ever. So far, 21 percent of departing flights at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport and 37 percent of flights at Chicago Midway were canceled Thursday.
High levels of Travel Demand may continue in 2023
Following the challenges of the preceding two years, 2022 saw travel resume at record-breaking levels, and hotels worldwide reaped the rewards. Despite rising costs, early market indicators show that pent-up travel demand will likely continue in 2023. Travel is still top of mind for people, particularly across Western Europe and the US. In fact, our most recent market data shows that nights booked from British and US guests are significantly above 2019 levels, and at a much higher price too.

What is Really Happening with Business Travel?
International business travel has been recovering at a slower rate than leisure tourism. That is, at least, until the fourth quarter of 2022. From October, business travel begins to outstrip leisure. While the latter’s recovery is decelerating as a result of factors including inflation, the recovery of business travel – a less price-sensitive segment – is gaining momentum.
