PERMANENT FORECAST RECORD · TRAVEL

Air capacity and demand support continued recovery, while prices, conflict and regional travel restrictions remain meaningful brakes.

MAIN DRIVERS
  1. Air connectivity and household travel demand can keep expanding.
  2. Visa changes and new routes can unlock additional cross-border trips.
  3. Large events and favorable exchange rates can shift regional flows.
WHAT COULD LOWER THE PROBABILITY
  1. Conflict, disease, disasters or expensive fuel could interrupt travel.
  2. High accommodation and airfare costs may restrain household demand.
WHAT THIS COULD MEAN FOR YOU
Travel

Higher demand can mean more routes but also more crowded destinations and higher prices.

Work

Tourism-heavy economies may gain jobs and foreign-currency income.

Home

Residents in popular destinations can face rent, congestion and infrastructure pressure.

PUBLIC RESOLUTION RULE

Resolve YES if UN Tourism's first complete 2026 estimate reports international tourist arrivals at 105% or more of the 2019 total; otherwise resolve NO.
