Today, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued new guidance regarding travel and COVID-19. CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said:

'For example, grandparents who are fully vaccinated can fly to visit their grandkids without getting a COVID-19 test or self-quarantining, provided they follow the other recommended prevention measures while traveling,'

While everyone needs to continue to be responsible, this updated guidance is great news for Airbnb Hosts and guests. According to our research, the type of travel people have missed the most is visiting with family and friends. Business travel is the type of travel they have missed the least. Connecting with family and friends is also the type of travel that has grown most in importance as people look to travel after the pandemic: 41% say such travel has become 'much more' important to them, almost twice the percentage who cite travel to accomplish personal goals (22%).
