Iran war creates new reality for summer holidays: tourists seek plan B

Due to the Iran war, oil prices have exceeded $100 per barrel, leading to soaring airfares and flight cancellations.
Tourists across Europe and beyond are adapting plans, choosing shorter trips, trains, and staying closer to home.
Airlines like Air France-KLM and Lufthansa expect huge increases in fuel costs, while low-cost carriers like Wizz Air and airBaltic face pressure.
Travelers are delaying decisions and booking last minute, with tour operators reporting a 10-25% drop in business.
The tourism and aviation sectors are among the most affected by the war, with prolonged peace talks pointing to a protracted standoff.
