Consumers Stay Close To Home, Stick To Digital Orders

The pandemic has muted demand for vacation getaways, with AAA numbers forecasting that overall travel will be on the decline from July to September. Consumers are also looking to stay local, with Airbnb noting that the majority of domestic U.S. bookings since the beginning of April have been for trips within 300 miles. At the same time, a greater proportion of consumers are purchasing retail goods online than they did previously. All this, Today in Data.
