Summer 2021 is shaping up to be a good one. With vaccinations rolling around the country and mask restrictions easing up, people are starting to plan their vacations for the summer. While international travel and tropical vacations are always popular, for now, people are easing into traveling by planning shorter trips and domestic vacations with the goal of visiting family.
Over the past year and a bit, the coronavirus pandemic and social distancing have made it difficult to connect with family that live far away or to travel as a family. As things continue to reopen, family travel and family reunions, both small and large ones, will become super popular. It’s what travelers are more excited about!
Travelocity predicts that summer 2021 will be “the season of family reunions”. According to a survey from the site, socializing with family is the number one most missed activity for those who haven’t traveled since the pandemic. The most common vacation plans include visiting family, hitting the beach, taking a road trip, sneaking in a weekend getaway, and an international trip. Respondents were actually more interested in visiting family over a beach vacation or international travel.
