Tourism companies have observed a sharp rise in airline fares and hotel bookings in recent weeks. A similar trend was witnessed before previous high-profile encounters between the two teams.
Industry experts predict that fans from India, Pakistan, and other countries will finalize their travel plans in the coming days, facing a 20% to 50% increase in booking and airfare costs. Last-minute prices are expected to double.
A representative from a travel company noted a clear pattern of rising demand for flights and hotels before a Pakistan-India match. For instance, before the Pakistan-India match in the 2023 Cricket World Cup, hotel prices saw a staggering 1,550% increase. A similar surge is expected in Dubai as the match date approaches.
Another industry official stated that bookings are steadily increasing and that the real spike will occur in the two weeks leading up to the match.
