Global summer travel demand remains resilient in 2026 despite economic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions and rising airfares, according to a new report. Instead of cancelling holidays, travellers are opting for alternative destinations and adjusting their itineraries. The FIFA World Cup has emerged as a major driver of international travel, boosting demand for flights and accommodation across host cities. Increased passenger traffic, coupled with higher airfare prices, is reshaping travel patterns during the peak summer season. The report noted that while costs have risen, major sporting events and leisure travel continue to encourage strong bookings, reflecting sustained consumer appetite for international trips despite broader financial and global challenges.
