The travel sector has faced serious challenges since the global outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic last year. The lockdowns and travel restrictions have taken a toll on the industry. People are cautious before making any travel plans, although vaccinations increased. The emergence of the Delta variant has cut short the industry’s optimism of a speedy recovery.
Typically, the travel sector losses pace in late summer as schools reopen after the holiday break before picking up again in the run up to the festive season in the winter.
