Is This Bad News For Glacier Fans?

Post by PeteE »

This is a quote from Airbnb's CEO Brian Chesky in a recent Twitter interview:

Emphasis in large bold text is mine
He[Chesky] uncovers the next big trend in travel, which by the way could start this summer - indicating that people aren't going to be travel to the top largest 50 cities in the world and stay in crowded hotels - what they're going to do is "many people will travel by car - some will travel by plane - and they're going to travel to thousands of smaller communities. And many of these communities are going to be smaller cities and or even rural areas."

Chesky said, "farm stays are huge right now." He said most Americans have never visited the national parks, with another suggestion that these parks will be huge among travelers in the coming months.
Sure, it's one guy's opinion, but he's an expert on travel trends.
If Chesky is correct, it'll be good news for many in the tourist industry.
Not so much for those of us who saw what has happened here in Glacier National Park the last few years, especially last year.
Or that would my own personal view. I am not looking forward to crowds larger than last year.

Hopefully flying will get back to normal and everyone will go to Disneyland and 6-flags.

Oof. Agree with Jay - hopefully the thrill will pass and they will return to other travel plans. Time will tell...
