Travel
Airlines, destinations and the tourism economies that depend on them, with a particular eye on Hawaii, the Caribbean and Central America, and the Mountain West.
Our reporting
Full archiveTourism is one of the largest employers on earth and one of the most fragile. A route change, a currency move, a storm season or a viral video can reshape a destination’s year. This desk covers travel from both sides: what travelers need to know, and what the hotels, guides, restaurants and tour operators who serve them are dealing with.
We give particular attention to a handful of destinations where small, locally owned businesses carry the tourism economy: the Hawaiian islands, Belize, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic, along with Colorado and the wider Mountain West. In each, the gap between a thriving season and a hard one is often decided by visibility: whether a visitor planning a trip on a phone or through an AI assistant ever finds the small operator at all.
What we watch
Airlines and access. New routes, capacity and fares that decide who can get where.
Destination economies. Visitor numbers, rules, fees and how local businesses are adapting.
How trips get planned. The shift from search and review sites to AI trip planners, and what it means for small operators.
Outdoor travel. Parks, trails and the outdoor recreation economy, shared with our Outdoors desk.
