American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) Managing Director David VanAmburg joins 7Investing Lead Advisor Dan Kline to look at how the American public feels about the travel industry, based on their responses to the ACSI’s latest report which focuses on the period where travel has been greatly disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic. The pandemic saw ratings for travel -- hotels, airlines, and travel websites -- fall pretty much across the board. Travel, of course, has looked a lot different since COVID-19 hit and that has actually made some parts of travel more pleasant. Consumers see the lower crowds when it comes to air travel as a positive, but that’s really the only thing about the industry they like right now. Investing in airlines specifically has largely been a risky proposition. During the pandemic all of these companies have struggled to some degree with most airlines cutting staff and doing what they can to cut expenses. Airlines, however, saw a small improvement in customer satisfaction which has actually been a long-term trend. This does not mean that you should be investing in airlines. Hotels and travel website were not as highly rated losing ground during the pandemic. That makes sense for hotels as some of their amenities can’t operate normally while the travel websites may be hurt by there being fewer choices for consumers. This makes these parts of the travel industry a challenging proposition for investors (and one that may take years to recover). Welcome to 7investing.
