“People are going to take more trips this year,” said Audrey Hendley, president of American Express Travel, where 2022 bookings are already up 35% compared to 2019
hat a difference two years makes. Just a few months into the Covid-19 pandemic, a trend survey from American Express Travel found that for nearly half of respondents, not being able to travel was making them feel anxious and stressed. And nearly eight in 10 said travel was one of the top activities they missed the most.
The online Amex Trendex survey of 3,000 regular travelers earning at least $70,000 a year was conducted last month in the U.S., Japan, Australia, Mexico, India, the U.K., and Canada. “Eighty-six percent of respondents expect to spend more on travel in 2022—that’s a staggering number,” she said. “They are splurging a bit, upgrading to premium.”
Second, Amex Travel is seeing that people are willing to venture further from home. “Sixty-one percent of our trips will be international versus 39% this time last year,” said Hendley, adding that, “customers are looking to book further out,” another bellwether of consumer optimism.
