March 02, 2026
The U.S. travel sector entered 2026 on relatively steady footing. Domestic travel indicators remained stable, while international inbound travel continued to weaken. Total travel spending rose 1.0% year over year, with demand carrying through the post-holiday period without meaningful disruption. Overall, the sector appears to be holding stable, rather than accelerating.
