Global travel demand remains resilient this summer despite rising airfares, geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty, with travellers changing where they travel rather than cancelling trips altogether, according to a new report by RateGain Travel Technologies through its subsidiary Sojern.
According to the report, the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2026 has boosted travel demand to several host cities in the United States and Canada. At the same time, around one-third of summer travel bookings are still pending, indicating that travellers are continuing to make last-minute decisions.
