Key Issues

  • Consumer Confidence—Leisure travel spending is largely discretionary, and a dramatic decline in consumer confidence has sapped the willingness of consumers to spend on travel.
  • Corporate Profitability—Corporate profitability is rapidly deteriorating in the wake of the global financial crisis, leading to reduced budgets for business travel.
  • Oil Prices—After setting record highs last summer, oil prices are now less than half their previous peaks. Since fuel is the industry’s single largest input cost, lower prices have supported profitability.
