Los operadores turísticos franceses se adaptan a medida que la guerra en Irán retrasa las reservas de verano

Un mes después de los informes iniciales sobre el desplome de las reservas en medio de la Guerra de Oriente Medio de 2026, los viajeros franceses siguen retrasando sus vacaciones de verano, incluso los viajes nacionales, debido al conflicto en Irán iniciado el 28 de febrero. Los líderes del sector informan de adaptaciones como el cambio de destino ante el aumento de las tarifas y el temor a las cancelaciones.

Sobre la base de los informes de abril sobre el colapso de las reservas en el extranjero y la estancada demanda interna, la crisis se agrava a medida que se acerca el verano. 'La crisis comenzó con el temor de los clientes a no poder regresar a casa debido a la guerra en Irán. El tráfico aéreo estuvo bloqueado durante cuarenta y ocho horas en el Golfo Pérsico', recuerda Valérie Boned, presidenta de Les Entreprises du Voyage, que representa al 80% de las agencias de viajes y operadores franceses como Selectour, Havas Voyages, TUI, Club Med, MisterFly y Expedia.

Los profesionales repatriaron rápidamente a sus clientes durante las primeras interrupciones. Ahora, para combatir las subidas de precios impulsadas por el combustible derivado del conflicto en Oriente Medio, las empresas ofrecen cambios de destino flexibles y planes de pago para mitigar las cancelaciones y fomentar las reservas a pesar de la incertidumbre generalizada.
