AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoRail Travel Boom (Germany): Deutsche Bahn says international rail is surging—about 1 in 6 long-distance passengers chose a cross-border route in 2025 (around 25 million), up nearly a third since 2019, with major gains on Munich–Zurich (+27%), Frankfurt–Paris (+22%), and Cologne–Brussels (+16%). Tourism Demand vs. Local Reality (New Orleans): Even with a record 19.4M visitors and $10.8B spend in 2025, some French Quarter/CBD hotel and attraction numbers are softer, and rising costs could hit summer momentum. Cost Pressure (Croatia): Inflation in Croatia climbed to 5.8%, with transport and housing costs rising fastest—raising questions about summer affordability. New Luxury Push (Egypt): Modon and Montage announced Montage Ras El Hekma on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast, adding 200 rooms plus 96 branded residences. Safety & Strain: A fatal shark attack at Rottnest Island is the latest grim reminder for holiday hotspots, while the Philippines’ tourism provinces are losing money to power outages. Family Travel Trend (Paris): Paris hotels are leaning harder into kid-friendly features as demand grows.
