After a year (or more!) of lockdowns and travel restrictions, Americans are experiencing a massive 'revenge travel' surge. But what exactly *is* revenge travel? Simply put, it's the pent-up desire to travel and experience the world after being cooped up. Think of it as making up for lost time, indulging in those vacation dreams we've been hoarding.

We're seeing increased bookings for both domestic and international destinations, with travelers willing to splurge on luxurious experiences to truly 'treat' themselves. From national parks to European getaways, Americans are ready to reclaim their adventures. Is it sustainable? Time will tell. But for now, the skies are filled with planes, and the hotels are buzzing with excited travelers ready to finally say, "I'm back!"
