Lion Travel sees bookings shift as higher airfares, war reshape demand
Posted on 2026-04-11 14:08:13
Lion Travel says rising airfares and geopolitical tensions are reshaping
travel demand, with bookings shifting away from routes that transit the
Middle East ... toward Asia, Oceania and North America.

The travel agency says bookings have remained strong despite higher costs,
with group tour bookings rising about 15 percent on year since last month.

Demand for Australia and New Zealand has surged around 40 percent, while
bookings to the United States and Canada have also increased.

Lion Travel said Japan tour bookings are up about 40 percent, with South
Korea up around 20 percent.

Rising global oil prices linked to Middle East tensions have led airlines to
increase fuel surcharges, which took effect on April 7.

Lion Travel says it has raised the cost of short-haul group travel trips by
less than NT$2,000 and long-haul tours by about NT$4,000.
