About a third of US adults said they will definitely travel this holiday season, and another quarter said it’s likely.

Beyond the chart: A return to the skies and roads has bolstered the US travel industry’s digital ad spend, which will reach $5.23 billion this year and exceed pre-pandemic heights in 2023, per our forecast.

The travel resurgence has also boosted the US digital out-of-home ad market, which will hit $2.64 billion and also surpass its 2019 level next year. Both travel and out-of-home will grow their digital ad spend as a response to consumer behavior, and as a pivot from traditional formats.
