Partiers were generally opting outside to find more spacious and low-key venues to limit the risk of transmission, rather than raging in some of the prevailing BACH party cities. Let’s dive into the numbers.Īs you’d expect, COVID has dramatically impacted travel plans with 35% of respondents attending a rescheduled party this year that was originally planned for 2020 and a third of respondents who changed the party destination in light of COVID concerns.Īt BACH, we saw a rising interest in quieter destinations like the Florida Keys and Newport, RI for a weekend getaway starting back in the fall of 2020. This lull in BACH parties since the pandemic’s onset has resulted in pent-up demand that’s coming to a head in the upcoming months-and peaking this summer. With COVID-19 postponing many wedding dates, bachelor and bachelorette parties naturally followed suit. Best part about making early bookings? Many COVID cancellation policies are still favorable for travel arrangements, so take advantage of it while you can. Due to the travel boom these next few months, starting the planning process as early as possible is going to be crucial to lock in the plans your group wants. It’s worth noting that BACH attendees tend to start planning their trips far in advance, on average 114 days before the event. But this spring and summer, air travel is officially back. Instead, they were favoring party destinations that were within driving distance. This is a huge shift from last summer and fall, when many BACH users were actively avoiding flying and lengthy travel during COVID-19. A key takeaway here: 61% of these travelers plan on flying to their destination. With this flexibility that many predict is here to stay, travelers can now extend their stays at destinations and plug in when they need to. Work from home, of course, is still commonplace across the country. Travelers are making the most of the long weekend, with most starting their trips on a Friday and stretching the festivities until sometime Monday.
