Travel expenses have surged recently, affecting everything from airfare to hotel rates, pushing many to adjust their travel budgets. Even higher-income households now find some popular vacation spots financially challenging. Hawaii, renowned but increasingly pricey, exemplifies this trend, with lodging, meals, and activities costing significantly more. The situation is exacerbated by a lack of seasonality in pricing and a limited number of accommodations. For instance, a week-long trip to Maui for a couple can easily exceed $4,200, deterring middle-class travelers from these once-accessible destinations.
