In this episode of the Amadeus Travel Tech Talk, we take a look at the state of travel.  We recently launched our Amadeus Travel Pulse, based on Amadeus Search data.  The data reveals that for the first four months of 2022, search volumes around the globe have been increasing, almost reaching 2019 levels.  Travel is recovering, true that it is happening at a different pace across the world, but as the data shows, we want to get back on the road. 
With this in mind, we have gathered some of our experts from around the world to look at where we stand with travel.  We’ll take a look back at the trends we predicted for 2022 – are they happening?  What are the big surprises?  Are we seeing a change in traveler behavior?
