Expedia | October 9, 2020
SEATTLE, Oct. 8, 2020 -- Today, Expedia® reveals the latest phenomenon in pandemic travel behavior – the 'tripping point.' The tripping point is defined as the intense need for a break from the routine and the moment at which day-to-day responsibilities become too much and result in the desperate need for a change of scenery.
