TO DISCUSS
THE LATEST ON TRAVEL IS A DID
THE MORE AN ECONOMIST AT TRAVEL
APP HOPPER AN ADDICT CAN YOU
LAY OUT THE NEW TRAVEL RULES
FOR US.
>> YES, SO SOME OF THE NEW
TRAVEL RULES FOR US TRAVELERS
SPECIFICALLY YOU'RE
GOING ABROAD. INCLUDED
THE VACCINATION ARE AND ARE NOT
NECESSARILY VACCINATION WINDOW
AND NEGATIVE TESTING WINDOW AND
THAT YOU NEED TO SHOW A
NEGATIVE TEST BEFORE RETURNING
ON THAT RETURN FLIGHT TO THE
U.S. IF YOU ARE VACCINATED OR
IF YOU'RE NOT VACCINATED SO IF
YOU ARE VACCINATED YOU HAVE 3
DAYS TO PROVE THAT NEGATIVE
TEST BEFORE YOU REACH TURN ON
THAT RETURN FLIGHT FROM AN
INTERNATIONAL DESTINATION IF
YOU'RE NOT VACCINATED YOU HAVE
A 24 HOUR SHOW THAT PROOF OF A
NEGATIVE TEST. SO THAT WINDOW
IS A LOT SHORTER FOR
UNVACCINATED TRAVELERS AND
IDEALLY THE
GOAL THERE IS TO TO MOVE A
MOTIVATE MORE TRAVELERS TO GET
VACCINATED IF THEY ARE
GOING INTERNATIONALLY.
>> SO LET ME JUST PLAY THIS OUT
I'M GOING TO LET'S
SAY CANCUN GO THERE FOR A WEEK
ON MY 3RD DAY SINCE
UNVACCINATED I HAD TO TAKE A
TEST AND THEN WHEN I GET TO THE
AIRPORT ON THAT LAST DAY.
I WILL HAVE TO SHOW THAT I HAVE
A
♪
NEGATIVE TEST BEFORE A CURRY
AND RE ENTER THE UNITED STATES.
>> CORRECT YES TO THE WINDOW
FOR SHOWING THAT NEGATIVE TEST
IS IF YOU'RE AN UNVACCINATED
TRAVELER FROM THE U.S. NOW DO
YOU KNOW IF
THERE'S AIRPORTS.
>> THAT ARE OFFERING TESTS
BECAUSE I CAN'T THINK THAT IF
I'M OUT ON VACATION I HAVE TO
FIT NOW FIGURE OUT WHERE CAN I
GET A TESLA CAN TAKE IT.
>> SO A LOT OF INTERNATIONAL
DESTINATIONS WILL TRY TO WORK
WITH TRAVELERS TO MAKE THE
PROCESS OF SHOWING A NEGATIVE
TEST THESE EAR,
WHETHER THAT'S AT THE AIRPORT
OR AT THAT
HOTEL THAT YOU'RE STAYING A LOT
OF INTERNATIONALS NATIONS ARE
TRYING TO WORK WITH TRAVELERS
HERE. BUT THE GOAL WITH THE NEW
POLICIES ESSENTIALLY TO
MOTIVATE TRAVELERS TO GET
VACCINATED BEFORE HEADING
INTERNATIONALLY. SO THERE YOU
CAN SHOW PROOF OF VACCINATION
AND THEN SHOWS WITHIN 3 DAYS OF
THE NET TEST YOU HAVE THE
LARGER WINDOW AND THAT'S HOW
YOU CAN SHOW THAT YOU ARE.
ACCEPTABLE TO TRAVEL TO THE
U.S..
>> NOW TRAVEL HAS BEEN A HUGE
ISSUE THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC
AND
EVEN NOW NOW AS WHERE I'M GOING
TO SAY AT THE TAIL AND I HOPE
OF THE PANDEMIC SO HOW DO YOU
THINK THESE NEW RULES WILL
AFFECT DEMAND ON TRAVEL BOTH
DOMESTICALLY AND
INTERNATIONALLY.
>> OVERALL WE'RE GOING TO SEE
THAT DEMAND WILL REALLY IMPROVE
WITH
THESE NEW I WILL RULES AND THAT
IS ESSENTIALLY BECAUSE EVERY
TIME WE'VE SEEN THE
ADMINISTRATION YOU KNOW PUSH
FOR INCREASED VACCINATION OR
IMPROVED NEGATIVE
FOR FLIGHTS. I WE SEEN
TRAVELERS, IT'S ACTUALLY FEEL
MORE CONFIDENT AND SAFE IN
THEIR TRIP. SO THESE RULES I
WOULD SAY ARE REALLY GOING TO
SPUR
AND OVER ALL AND LEAD TO A
SAFER TRAVEL EXPERIENCE FOR
THOSE HEADING INTERNATIONALLY
AND JUST SOME EXAMPLES OF THAT.
SO RECENTLY WHEN THE U.S. SORT
OF REOPENED ITS BORDERS TIED TO
A LOT OF INTERNATIONAL
THAT HAPPENED IN LATE SEPTEMBER
WITH A SORT
OF NOVEMBER, A TIMELINE AND WE
SAW SEARCH INTEREST FROM ALL
THOSE COUNTRIES IN BOUNCE BE US
IMPROVED BY 30% AND THAT'S A
WEEK
WE HAVE SEARCHES ARE RISING
MASSIVELY FROM OTHER COUNTRIES
BUT RATHER SHOWING A LOT OF
PENT-UP DEMAND TO COACH US.
ITS DOMESTIC TRAVEL, WE'VE ALSO
SEEN A MASSIVE IMPROVEMENTS IN
THE DOMESTIC TRAVEL MARKET
SINCE BEGINNING OF
THIS YEAR. AT THE BEGINNING OF
THIS YEAR WE'RE TRENDING AT
ABOUT 40% OF PREPANDEMIC
TSA THROUGHPUT WE'RE NOW AT
ABOUT 80% OF TSA 3 PUT FOR THE
DOMESTIC MARKET TO DOMESTIC
TRAVEL IS ALSO IMPROVING
RAPIDLY AND A LOT OF THAT IS
BECAUSE COLLARS ARE STARTING TO
FEEL SAFER WITH THESE KINDS OF
NEW POLICIES THAT HELPED TO
MAKE THAT
SAFE EXPERIENCE.
>> NOW I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION
ON THE VACCINATIONS AND RE
ENTRY WHAT ABOUT CHILDREN WHO
ARE IN 5 YEARS OLD
OR OLDER WHAT ABOUT THE YOUNG
CHILDREN HOW DOES HOW DOES IT
WORK FOR THEM.
>> YES, AND THERE ARE SOME THAT
ARE PROVIDED IN THE
NEW POLICY. SO ESPECIALLY FOR
YOUNG CHILDREN OR PEOPLE COMING
FROM COUNTRIES WHERE
VACCINATIONS ARE JUST NOT VERY
AVAILABLE. AND THERE ARE
EXCEPTIONS
IN THAT POLICY BASICALLY STATE
THAT IF YOU'RE ONE
OF THOSE THERE ARE OTHER WAYS
TO MEET THE U.S. GUIDELINES
WHETHER THAT'S TO SHOW. YOU
KNOW PREVENT THE NEGATIVE TEST
WITHIN A
LARGER WINDOW OR NOT HAPPENING
NOT HAVE ANY SHOW UP NEXT
A NATION.
>> OKAY, SO THE HOLIDAY SEASON
IS COMING UP AND IT'S PRETTY
MUCH PEAK TRAVEL TIME. HOW DO
YOU THINK THE DRILLS ARE GOING
TO IMPACT THE HOLIDAY SEASON
AND WHAT KIND OF HOLIDAY SEASON
ARE YOU EXPECTING THIS YEAR
WHEN IT COMES TO TRAVEL AS WE
FACE BOTH INFLATION AND NOW
VACCINATION ROLLS.
>> SO HOLIDAY TRAVEL THIS YEAR
IS GOING TO BE ABOUT TWICE AS
BUSY AS
LAST YEAR. AND SO FOR
THANKSGIVING FOR EXAMPLE, WE'RE
EXPECTING ABOUT 1.9 MILLION
TRAVELERS A DAY THIS YEAR
ALSO TWICE AS MUCH AS LAST AND
FOR CHRISTMAS WE'RE EXPECTING
ABOUT 2 MILLION TRAVELERS A DAY
THIS YEAR WHICH IS AGAIN TWICE
AS MUCH AS
LAST YEAR. AND NOW BOTH OF
THOSE ARE CONSERVATIVE
ESTIMATES FOR CHRISTMAS
THAT WAS ABOUT YOU KNOW 80% OF
PREPANDEMIC 2019 THEY'RE RIGHT
NOW IN OCTOBER ALREADY ENDING
AT 80% OF
PREPANDEMIC LEVELS. SO YOU KNOW
IN ESSENCE YOU CAN KIND OF
THINGS LIKE THIS COULD IMPROVE
BY THE TIME WE GET TO THE
HOLIDAY IN WHICH CASE WE WOULD
SEE A VERY BUSY HOLIDAY SEASON.
SOMETHING VERY REMINISCENT OF
PRE PANDEMIC THAT'S ALSO GOING
TO AFFECT AIRFARE SO FOR
DOMESTIC TRAVEL, WE'RE
EXPECTING ABOUT $390 ON
AVERAGE FOR A ROUND-TRIP TICKET
THEY ARE PREPANDEMIC A PURPOSE.
IT SAYS $390 ROUND TRIP IS
EXACTLY WHAT IT COSTS FOR
HOLIDAY TRAVEL IN
2019 FOR INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL,
WE'RE STILL NOT EXPECTING
PREPANDEMIC PRICES QUITE WE'RE
EXPECTING ABOUT $915 ON AVERAGE
FOR AN
INTERNATIONAL ROUNDTREE TAKE IT
TO INTERNATIONAL AIRFARE IS YOU
KNOW STILL DOWN ABOUT FROM 2019
LEVELS. THAT IS ALSO QUICK
COUNTY
AT ONE.
>> ALL RIGHT. MY LAST QUESTION
WOULD BE WHICH IS THE MOST
♪
>> POPULAR DESTINATIONS.
FOR DOMESTIC WE'RE KIND OF
SEEING AND.
>> NEXT BETWEEN WARM WEATHER
DESTINATIONS AND SKI SAY REALLY
DID WHETHER TRAVELERS ARE
FEELING LIKE GOING SKIING
YOU'RE GOING TO
THE BEACH. FOR SOME OF THOSE
WARM WEATHER DESTINATIONS ON
PLACES LIKE ORLANDO, DALLAS AND
YOU NEXT. WE'RE REALLY POPULAR
AND SEARCHES AMONGST DOMESTIC
AS WELL AS PLACES LIKE VAIL AND
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, SO SOME OF
SKI RESORTS FOR INTERNATIONAL
TRAVEL WERE PRIMARILY SEEING
INTEREST FOR THOSE WARM WEATHER
IN MEXICO AND COUNTRIES LIKE
MEXICO AND THE CARIBBEAN.
SO YOU HAVE PLACES
LIKE CANCUN
AND MEXICO CITY AND THOSE HAVE
BEEN SOME OF THE MORE POPULAR
INTERNATIONAL DESTINATIONS.
>> ALL RIGHT SO JUST REAL QUICK
FOR MY TRAVELER WHO IS
LISTENING IT'S PROBABLY BEST
TO BUY A COVID TEST BEFORE YOU
HEAD OUT ONTO THE PLANES, YOU
HAVE ONE IN YOUR BAG SO
ON THAT 3RD DAY BEFORE YOU GET
HOME IF YOU'RE VACCINATED US
POP IT OUT TAKE IT AND SHOW
THAT THE UPPER CORRECT LIKE
THAT WOULD BE A SMART MOVE.
>> SURE YEAH THAT WOULD BE ONE
EASY WAY TO
DO IT. ORDERED SECURING THAT
COVID TEST MAKING SURE YOU HAVE
THAT ACCESSIBLE OUT BEFORE YOU
DEPART IN OR NOT THAT WOULD
