DATA INSIGHTS

Is the Next Wave Move-On-Icron?

Trips booked Jan 1 - 11, 2022 for travel from Jan 1 - March 31, 2022

Strong momentum despite Omicron news
Unmanaged business travel is out-pacing leisure
Demand from non-family (solos and couples) travel overtakes family travel in hotels

Booking Windows: US Domestic Hotel Bookings
Trips booked Jan 1 - 11, 2022 for travel from Jan 1 - March 31, 2022

Over 3/4 of Business bookings and 1/2 of Leisure bookings are for trips in the next 2 weeks
Almost 15% of Business bookings are for trips more than 31 days in the future
Significant opportunity to tap into Spring Break booking demand for leisure

Top Destinations: US Domestic Hotel Bookings
Trips booked Jan 1 - 11, 2022 for travel from Jan 1 - March 31, 2022

Sun and Sand destinations grab 3 out of the 5 top spots
Major metros are back but performing poorly relative to 2020 compared to resort destinations
This destination ranking is slowly returning to a pre-pandemic norm which bodes well for further recovery in 2022

U.S. hotel performance lost ground during the week of January 2-8 with declines in absolute levels and the index to 2019. Occupancy came in eight points below the pre-pandemic comparable as leisure demand slowed and business travel remained absent after a Saturday holiday. Average daily rate (ADR) came down roughly $37 from the all-time weekly high prior to New Year’s but still sat at roughly 95% of the 2019 comparable.
