Travel Is Going to Look a Lot Different After the Pandemic and You're Going to Love It - Inc
Industry insiders predict a future filled with less soul-crushing business travel and easier airport experiences.
"You are never going to see the volume of business travel that you've seen in the past," former American Airlines CEO Robert Crandall recently told The Wall Street Journal, predicting that business travel will fall by one-third to one-half even after the pandemic is over.
That's alarming news for airlines that depend on business travelers to turn a profit. "Everybody who depends on business travel is going to have to rethink their game plan," Crandall acknowledged.
But is it bad news for the average entrepreneur or professional not directly financially impacted by a fall off in business trips? A deeper look at the future of post-pandemic travel doesn't sound bad at all actually.
