- Domestic tourism has been referred to as the ‘lifeline' for tourism recovery during COVID-19 and as Thanksgiving is now upon the US, this would have been thought of as a ‘light' for the US tourism sector.
- However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has advised against domestic travel during this period, and the latest consumer survey shows that this is feeding into consumer attitudes, with many travelers uncertain on their travel plans this year.
