The tourism industry is beginning to see an increase in active inquiries compared to the year that Covid-19 reared its ugly head and invaded the world. We are all familiar with the likes of booking.com, which boasts 27 million total listings in more than 130,000 destinations, and Airbnb, with 5.6 million active listings in 100,000 cities worldwide. Interestingly, Airbnb outstrips the combined listings of hotel giants Marriott International, Intercontinental Hotel Group, Accor Hotel Group, Hilton Worldwide and Wyndham, with their combined 3.9 million listings. While the pandemic has affected this sector, following the implementation of Covid-19 regulations and safety and hygiene rules, the industry is preparing for easier international movement and is showing positive signs of recovery.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
