Expedia expects 'busiest ever' summer as tourism recovery moves closer to reality

The travel booking giant's chief executive, Peter Kern, also said: “And yes, prices will be high."

With borders reopening in parts of the world such as Australia that had not yet welcomed back international tourism, many pandemic-era travel barriers will start to recede.

The chief executive of online travel booking giant Expedia expects this summer to be the busiest travel season “ever”, with 2023 being the year that the tourism recovery becomes a reality rather than just a prediction.

“Summer 2022 will be the busiest travel season ever,” Peter Kern said.
