Revenge travel, a slang term created right after the COVID-19-caused lockdown where people traveled to make up for lost time, is now being replaced by something new — “get it done” travel.
According to American Automobile Association spokesperson Michelle Glass, the travel industry is experiencing high bookings due to a rediscovered eagerness to get out and see more of the world. “Americans don’t want to wait to travel,” Glass said. “‘I don’t want to wait for a pandemic. I don’t want to wait for a recession. I never got to see the Eiffel Tower. I have always wanted to see the beaches of Normandy. Whatever it is, I don’t want to wait.'”
