Skift Travel Health Index Flatlines

The February index was flat at 100, down from 105 the month before. For an industry that opened the year with an oulook for 5% growth, this score points to something more troubling than just a slow month. The way conflict reshapes travel has become a defining theme since 2025 and the regional data shows what's at stake.
