Conclusion

COVID-19 and the subsequent lockdown shut the world down in 2020 and for the better part of this year. With more countries opening up and people returning to normalcy, there is expected to be a boom in travel as the world has been locked down for quite some time. Traveltech companies, including atta, stand to benefit from this boom, facilitating journeys in the domestic as well as international setting.
