Staycation.

Don’t even say that word! It is so 2020!

It’s time to get back out there and see the world.

Pent-up demand means big things for 2023 as Forbes anticipates an increase in business, domestic, and international travel. 

But rather than just head off to that mandatory corporate conference or convention, or another jaunt to isolate with family on the other coast, it is time to treat yourself to a real trip.

The pandemic has demand soaring for international vacations.

A recent survey by the tourism market research firm Destination Analysts indicates that 31% of Americans are more interested in international than domestic travel.

That means more travelers searching for great deals on popular destinations and tours.
