Top Travel Companies for April 2021
Skift Health Scores perked up in April as hopes for a travel recovery solidified and companies moved past their dismal summer 2020 financial performance.
The severity of localized COVID-19 outbreaks continues to be the primary driver or inhibitor of travel industry performance. Differences in the success of government lockdowns and quarantine measures had already been driving a regional divergence between companies. And now, the uneven rollout of a COVID vaccine has only exacerbated those geographical differences.
Europe, which had been successfully locked down when we published this report last, has since seen a resurgence in Covid cases, while the U.S.’ vaccination program has outpaced most of the world leading to travel optimism. As a result, U.S. companies surged to the top of our Skift Health Score rankings, displacing their European counterparts.
