Airbnb CEO on future of travel: 'This isn't a lost travel season'

'People still want to travel, no matter how bad things get, people still want to connect, but they want to have precautions.'

Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky attends the "Gay Chorus Deep South" screening during the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival at Spring Studios on April 29, 2019, in New York City.

While the airlines have struggled to get people in the skies since the outbreak began, road trips have become a popular plan B as Airbnb said it has noticed an increase in people booking trips closer to home since the pandemic began.

The Points Guy, a travel and lifestyle media platform, surveyed American adults and saw a similar trend to Airbnb's close proximity bookings. They found that in-state and out-of-state road trips provide the highest comfort level for would-be travelers while only 20% of people surveyed would take a domestic flight to their destination in 2020.
