The Skift Travel Health Index, boosted by the spring travel season, gained 3 percentage points to reach 108 in April 2024. This represented an 8% surge over last year.
All regions tracked by the index showed an uptick in travel performance compared to March 2024, indicating a rise in travel activity. The April surge can be attributed to the spring break travel period – a good time for families to plan quick getaways and take advantage of the school holidays.
Except for Latin America, all other regions surpassed performance levels seen last year. While Latin America’s performance improved compared to March 2024, it is still at 99% of April 2023. Read our latest report, Skift Travel Health Index: April 2024 Highlights to gain insights into factors impacting travel in Latin America.
