State of Travel 2024

August 2024
Marketing

In many ways 2024 represents the start of a new era for the travel industry. We have broken through to a post-pandemic world where, for the first time in almost half a decade, there are no COVID tailwinds or headwinds to guide our industry.

The state of travel in 2024 is strong. Travel businesses are growing with healthy margins. But many questions hang over our industry. Could the global economy enter a recession? Where will Chinese travelers go next? What does the future hold for budget airlines? How will our industry adapt to a new generation of AI-powered tech tools? Understanding the challenges and opportunities facing travel today is critical.

Our State of Travel report is designed to be your reference handbook to navigating the complex world of travel in 2024. From consumer insights, to sector deep dives, and executive perspectives, we have put together 350+ insights with the hope to have a chart for almost any topic. We hope you enjoy the report.
