Fuel Hotel Marketing Podcast: Episode 158 – Why Consumer Sentiment Is Heading In The Wrong Direction
by Stuart Butler
Fuel recently released volume 7 of our consumer sentiment study and it’s a real eye-opener. Just when we all thought things were heading in the right direction, the cases of COVID began to increase and the mainstream media changed it’s narrative to be very anti-travel. This has had a dramatic impact on consumers and their willingness to book a vacation. In this episode, we take a look at the new data and break it down between people who are in favor of masks vs those who prefer to abstain. Check it out.
