5 Solid Stocks to Buy Ahead of a Promising Holiday Season
The holiday season is around the corner and industries likely to benefit from it have high expectations after a year of lull. Predictions are already high that retail sales will rise substantially this holiday season.
Like every year, people will be traveling. This means that the restaurant and travel and leisure industries will benefit. Also hopeful are airline companies that are banking on the holiday season to see air traffic increasing.
Holiday Season Expected to be Good
According to a new study by Google, traveling will increase substantially after coming to a standstill last year due to the pandemic. However, the travel pattern will change this holiday season, with most people planning to travel within the country.
According to the study, travelers feel safe traveling this year after taking the COVID-19 vaccine. More than 45% of travelers plan to holiday within their own countries this year in early fall, while 8% plan to go to international destinations.
Moreover, 30% to 40% who plan to travel during the holiday season will plan their travel a month or more in advance. Despite fears of the Delta variant of the coronavirus, people are a lot more confident after taking the COVID-19 vaccine and planning to travel this year.
According to new research, 36% of people across the globe have started traveling. Also, 67% of travel marketers are confident that despite several challenges, travel budgets will increase this year, which is a good sign for many industries like hotels, leisure and restaurants.
