* Early in the pandemic, Fox laid off about 15% of its workforce, but today the agency is largely the same organization and people who were at Fox in 2019.
Looking ahead
* A return of international leisure travel is expected to return to 2019 levels in 2023. Projecting to finish 2022 at about 70% of 2019 levels.
* For business travel, expects to finish 2022 at 85% of its 2019 transaction count.
* Most days in February and March were over 80% of the same days in 2019.
* International travel remains dampened and will be the slowest to recover.
* New business won will lead to 2023 exceeding 2019 volumes.
* Meetings and incentives groups are booking and traveling on an extremely compressed timeline, often within two or three months of initial concept. A near-full recovery is expected by the end of 2022. Virtual meetings will remain, but the value of in-person gatherings cannot be replaced.
