Mass tourism will be roaring back by summer, says Expedia CEO

Things are looking good for Expedia Group—well, relatively, anyway. Instead of looking back at the last few months of bumpy business, though, CEO Peter Kern—who assumed leadership of the company in April—would rather look forward. 

Kern firmly holds that news of an impending vaccine is what will jump-start travel again. “People will think, ‘Well, by the summer Europe might be open, or I might have the vaccine, so let’s book it,’" he explains.
