According to a report by Portugal's Lusa News Agency on November 3, according to a study by the Tourism Economics Company, a subsidiary of the British consulting agency Oxford Institute of Economics, the number of international overnight visitors is expected to reach 1.57 billion this year, an increase of 2% over 2025, setting a new record. The report estimates that the expenses of these visitors will increase 6% year over year to reach 1.8 trillion US dollars. However, according to the report's authors, the growth rate will slow to 2% this year, compared to 6% in 2025. The conflict between the US and Iran, the rise in aviation fuel prices, and the rising cost of living are the main factors affecting demand for long-distance travel. The war not only raised concerns about the safety of the region, but also caused the suspension of operations at airports in the Gulf region, which account for 15% of global passenger traffic in 2025.
