Last updated on Nov 29, 2021 · 2 minutes

As travel recovers in 2021, we adapt to new normal and adopt new tools to travel.  

After phases of covid-19 lockdowns, people are eager to get back on track and travel again. AAA predicts that travel volume would rise to within 5% of pre-pandemic levels with Thanksgiving getaways, Christmas holidays and New Year 2022 celebrations. Still, a good chunk of them is feeling dicey. What’s behind this dilemma of heading out or not despite the recent easing of travel restrictions in the US? Two things: Uncertainty regarding safe travel and an increased sense of cost-consciousness – both attributed to the pandemic.


With extensive vaccination drives in place, the Government is simultaneously spreading the word of safe travel guidelines. So helpful for travel-seekers. And considering their preference for road trips over flights, we conducted a survey to find what help they need once they hit the road. Here are the top queries:
We felt their concern summed up in this recurring question: Is it possible to drive across the US while avoiding toll roads?. So, evidently, people are looking to save on travel costs – reflecting the second part of the travel dilemma.
