Quarterly trend report

 

Statistics show demand for travel, meetings and events continued to track strongly in the last three months of 2022. Global passenger load factors (i.e, how busy planes were) sat at an average of 81.6% for the quarter. Global hotel occupancy (how busy hotels were) for the full year of 2022 was 60.5%.

That high demand for travel comes off the back of more traveler confidence now COVID testing and quarantine measures have been reduced. And it helps that there are fewer disruptions and more planes in the sky too!
