Revenge Travel

What is “revenge travel” and why should #nonprofit organizations care? Over the last two years, most Americans have done little to no traveling. As mandates lift, people are ready to hit the road. Travel experts have coined the “revenge travel” term to explain the trends we will see in travel. People are upgrading airfare and hotel rooms, and scheduling longer than typical vacations. Travelers are saying “I haven’t gone someplace in two years so I am going to treat myself!”

And treating themselves they are. AirBnB reports that bookings are up 57% from the same period in 2019. VRBO has reported that 90% of inventory in popular summer destinations is already booked. For those taking a flight, even with higher than normal prices, flights are selling out at record paces.

If you planning a #fundraising event and you’ve wondered if travel packages will sell, the answer is YES! People want to support your mission and they want to travel. Start securing those travel packages now.
