Survey Reveals Fragmented Traveler Confidence Amid Global Uncertainty
A recent survey by Global Rescue reveals that while 70% of travelers continue with their international travel plans, confidence is increasingly fragmented due to factors like gender, geography, and risk perception. The Spring 2026 Global Rescue Traveler Sentiment and Safety Survey, which included over 1,100 experienced travelers, highlights that geopolitical instability has become the primary concern for those hesitant to travel, surpassing cost considerations. Women, in particular, show more caution, with 47% citing geopolitical risks as a major concern compared to 35% of men. The survey also notes regional differences, with non-U.S. travelers more inclined to resume international travel compared to their U.S. counterparts, who are opting for domestic travel.
