Southeast Asia's tourism sector, heavily reliant on travel, is facing instability due to rising airfares and fuel costs stemming from the Iran conflict. Visitor numbers are declining in countries like Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia, which are still recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic. The situation is exacerbated by jet fuel shortages and increased operational costs for airlines, leading to flight cancellations and a shift in traveler behavior. The economic impact is significant, threatening jobs and livelihoods in tourism-dependent economies.
