According to CoStar, the demand for hotels among business travelers will return to 2019 peak levels by the end of next year.
The three factors that are contributing to the slower recovery of business travel demand include: company work-from-home policies, executives reevaluating the value of business travel against teleconferencing technology and a broader economic slowdown.

Like many industries, travel faced a reckoning in 2020. Campaigns like #PullUpForTravel, generated by the Black Travel Alliance (BTA), called on brands to move beyond performative gestures to create lasting change. Some individuals, like BTA president and diversity-in-travel consultant Martinique Lewis, have continued to hold these companies to account; for her part, Lewis (who was also a member of Traveler's 2021 Advisory Board) has started releasing an annual scorecard to assess how companies address points of diversity, like race, ability, and gender.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are strategic business imperatives event planners look at when choosing the site of their next gathering. Demographics and the political climate are also important facets of a destination being considered for an event.

Virtual meetings are great. Admit it — we all have learned to do digital meetings pretty well, and sometimes they are preferable and less of a hassle. But sometimes in-person meetings are better for our employees — and even more efficient.

Walking through the steep, narrow servant staircases of Riversdale House, it’s hard not to be struck by how separated you are from the dramatic halls, dining room, and parlors in the rest of the mansion. You feel hidden. And for the approximately 55 enslaved African American workers that maintained this estate, they were. Now over 200 years later, staff at the Riversdale House Museum in Riverdale Park want to bring these stories out of the shadows to not only present a more accurate narrative, but to restore a connection to descendants of the plantation and the Prince George’s County community as a whole.
Honor the enslaved ancestors with a celebration of resilience, wellness, and community engagement at Riversdale House Museum Saturday, September 17 from 12:00 noon – 4:00 pm.
- Performance by Washington Revels Jubilee Voices ensemble
- Traditional, healthy African American cooking demonstrations
- Descendant networking
- Hands-on archaeological digs
- Family activities

This is crazy. Had the biggest win of my life 24 hours ago. That’s huge growth. It’s tough to turn the page,” said Tiafoe, who is seeded 22nd at Flushing Meadows.
