A total of 73 deals were announced in the global travel and tourism sector during January 2022, which is a decline of 27% over the 100 deals that were announced in December 2021, according to GlobalData.
Aurojyoti Bose, Lead Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “Just when deal activity in the travel and tourism industry started to recover during the latter half of 2021, deal-making sentiments took a hit in January due to the Omicron variant. There is still uncertainty prevailing among deal-makers in the sector.”
