Almost one third of American consumers in Q4 said that they were ‘not concerned’ or ‘slightly concerned’ about the pandemic. These pinpoint that US respondents and their opinion is changing to a more positive side. The US locals and businesses are now more open to welcoming new inbound tourists to the country. This is partially because of the vaccine roll-out in large-scale.

Globally, the US has one of the best vaccination rates with 78.6% of the population received their first dose and 67.3% will be getting their second dose by June 15, 2022.
