Travel readiness index
A new way of forecasting is needed for today’s travelers. Combining data with forecasted intent, we’re creating a monthly index which tracks travel and non-travel indicators that influence overall readiness to travel again, such as COVID-related health status, economic indicators, travel demand, and mobility status.
The latest findings show:
- The average score reached 0.70 in September (scale from 0 to 1), up 5% from August and -26% from pre-Covid baseline.
- Turkey maintained its lead positioning, followed closely by France and Spain.
- Government alignment is needed to address a patchwork of rules that could hinder travel in the upcoming holiday season.
- The Index now includes two countries from the Middle East region: the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.
