Tourism Triumphs: Skift Travel Health Index Reaches Record High
For the first time since January 2020, the Skift Travel Health Index has topped 100, a sign that global tourism is now performing better than it did before the pandemic. Every region in our index showed growth over the last month. - Saniya Zanpure
April 2023 marked an important milestone: The full recovery of travel since the pandemic – as measured by the Skift Travel Health Index. And it’s a record, with our index passing the level last reached in 2019.
The Travel Health Index is a proprietary tool produced by Skift Research to track the travel industry’s performance using 84 travel indicators with data from 22 partners. The global index currently stands at 101, up 2 percentage points from the previous month.
At its lowest point, the index hit 20 in April 2020 – that meant travel performance had dropped to 20% of levels in April 2019. The travel rebound has come a long way since then.
