What makes you say that? While it may be rebounding now, there was a long stretch where it was down 95%, if not more, as evident from, say, https://www.tsa.gov/coronavirus/passenger-throughput. I don't think other countries fared better.

There was a very dramatic slowdown last spring/early summer but those numbers show it's been slowly picking up since then. And, to a first approximation, no one I know is traveling yet. (Though that will probably change this summer as they're all vaccinated.)
ADDED: And there are still basically no in-person tech events. Maybe in the fall though I'm skeptical that will happen. And where I work, you basically need high-level exemptions to meet with anyone physically for work purposes.
