How travel fared in Q1: Results, volatility, 'noise' and what's next

We’re still in first-quarter earnings season, but we’ve been watching travel company results closely, to give us some signs on which way the travel industry is heading. The conclusion? There’s not really one yet – as you’ll hear here, results and predictions are up, down and sideways. In this episode, host Rebecca Tobin, news editor Johanna Jainchill and hospitality editor Christina Jelski look at both U.S. traveler sentiment and the inbound travel markets and what the numbers are telling us – and what we might expect to see next – and why is everyone talking about the “noise?” This episode was recorded Friday May 2 and has been edited for length and clarity.
