La demanda de viajes se mantiene firme a pesar del aumento de los costes

Las navieras y las aerolíneas reportan reservas sólidas para el verano de 2026, a pesar del alza en los precios del combustible y un incremento general del 9 por ciento interanual en los gastos de viaje.

Los precios de la gasolina han alcanzado un máximo de cuatro años cercano a los 4,50 dólares por galón en Estados Unidos al inicio del periodo vacacional de verano. Las líneas de cruceros como Viking han observado resultados sólidos, con un aumento del 17,5 por ciento en los ingresos del primer trimestre respecto al año anterior y un 92 por ciento de los viajes de 2026 ya reservados. Las aerolíneas, incluidas las de bajo coste, siguen aumentando su capacidad mientras mantienen tarifas competitivas, incluso cuando las tarifas hoteleras y otros costes suben. Un total del 77 por ciento de los estadounidenses planea realizar viajes este verano, lo que respalda la resiliencia del sector según los datos disponibles.
