Actions speak louder than words and a large level of discretionary travel, regardless of how disgruntled the traveler appears, indicates confidence. The AI cloud has muddled the employment outlook going forward for many but they’re employed now and using that vacation time. Maybe that’s it and folks have shifted vacations to the first quarter as they fear not having a job in the second half. Use paid time away while you have it. I have seen more associates vacation already this year. Could be a tell.
I agree that actions speak louder than words. The Boomer and golf trip crowd is undaunted but they own assets. The families with young children surprised me the most
