Silver linings amid the coronavirus crisis are hard to come by right now for the travel industry – but they haven’t disappeared altogether. Analysts have revealed that travellers are showing signs of confidence for January 2021 and the end of the year.

The number-crunching comes courtesy of digital travel marketing solutions firm Sojern, which presented a range of findings in a blog post. This is to be expected given the travel restrictions currently in place as a result of the ongoing pandemic.
