The global pandemic and the economic shutdowns have been devastating to the travel sectors in 2020, but optimism surrounding vaccine developments has boosted confidence of a smooth economic reopening in 2021.
50% of the global population is expected to receive a vaccine until next May, allowing consumers to travel and gather safely in public spaces, reversing the investing outlook for the travel and tourism sectors.
Industries such as airlines, hotels, leisure, entertainment, tour operators, casino, cruise lines, and restaurants which underperformed during the pandemic, are expected to have a sustainable recovery next year as the virus will be under control. With vaccines on the horizon, investors have already started positioning into travel stocks, with some of them posting their best monthly performance in November since the start of the pandemic.
