The company ranked U.S. states by combining Google search activity scores across all three core categories: hotels, flights, and cruises. They discovered that since January 1, Google searches are up 92% for hotels, 79% for flights, and 88% for cruises.
Furthermore, the largest increases in hotel search have occurred in Florida, as well as DC, Rhode Island, Texas, and California.
