Consensus is that it's going to be the case. My part of the Florida panhandle is already getting July levels of tourist traffic even though May is traditionally a lull in terms of tourist volume. And the airlines seem to have 25-30% more flights into here than they did in 2019. Glad I have TSA Precheck because it's going to be a zoo flying out of Podunk Field this year because a planned terminal expansion doesn't go live until 2022.
We've got a couple fo summer trips that were literally booked within the week after getting Moderna #2 so at least we have flight and hotel nailed down- hopefully the rental cars we've reserved will exist when we get to the destination airport.
No interest in Europe this summer even if it is technically open- why go all the way to Paris only to discover local government has implemented a 6:00pm-6:00am curfew because of a local spike in cases?
