Welcome to Skift Research’s State of Travel 2024 report.
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?
