    • Places & Travel

What will summer travel look like in 2020? Will hotels or private rentals fare better? Is cruising dead in the water? Will people actually pay for virtual tours? I called up my old boss, OG research analyst Lorraine Sileo, to get answers to these questions and more.

Recommendations:
Maggie reccomends RT.live, Instagram founder Kevin Systrom's data tool tracking state-by-state COVID-19 contagion rates. Lorraine recommends Smith Travel Research, the hospitality industry data provider that has been making more data available on its site and via webinars during the crisis.  Lorraine also recommends Forward Keys, which tracks global reservations to provide data and forecasts on traveler flow around the world.
