Across the globe, travel has significantly picked up from the lull it experienced during COVID. People are back on the road, back on trains, and back on planes.
Some travel for work or business, whereas others travel for pleasure. Thanks to the rise of remote work and the digital nomad lifestyle, growing numbers of people are discovering the ability to build their careers from virtually anywhere around the world.

In 2021 and even 2022, travelers in the United States experienced significant delays and cancellations of their flights, largely owing to staffing shortages and other similar problems.
