Summary
War with Iran is crashing Asia’s tourism boom—higher fuel prices and flight cancellations are driving up airfares and scaring off travelers just as summer hits. For Thailand and Vietnam, where tourism fuels nearly 10% of GDP, this is a brutal blow. Airlines are rerouting, cutting flights, and slapping steep fuel surcharges, while taxi drivers and small businesses feel the pinch. With everyday costs soaring and confidence in travel plummeting, these economies—still recovering from the pandemic—are facing a double whammy that threatens millions of jobs and vital foreign income.
