00:00Portuguese people are among the Europeans most eager to travel in 2026,
00:05according to Europe Assistance Annual Summer Vacation Barometer.
00:09Despite the unstable geopolitical climate, there are still those who choose to travel abroad.
00:14I'm planning to travel to Cabo Verde, which is my native land.
00:18I think this war has a lot of influence, especially the price of the tickets, which are exorbitant.
00:27However, the Portuguese show a greater preference for traveling within the country,
00:32especially to the beaches of Algarve, with a slight decrease in international travel.
00:38The war in the Middle East seems to have dampened some travelers' interest in going abroad,
00:42mainly due to financial constraints and increased safety concerns.
00:47I plan to travel, and I have already planned travel for Algarve, for Portugal,
00:53because I think now it's a bit complicated to go abroad.
00:56The combustibles contextualize the economy in this moment.
01:00And, therefore, face to the situation that will be in the next few days,
01:06we also maintain the férias here in Portugal, to avoid the most costs possible.
01:12Condiciona um bocadinho, não pensava em ir a uma viagem rápida, mas já não vou, tenho medo.
01:20E, além disso, também estão muito caras as viagens e os alojamentos, tudo.
01:25Não é a altura.
01:26Eu acho que nós estamos a atravessar uma fase de, pronto, há o conflito, não é?
01:33Pronto, mundial, há as guerras, aà sobe o preço, o custo de vida está muito mais alto,
01:38as coisas custam muito mais, e, por isso, mais difÃcil é fazer férias.
01:43Inflation remains the main reason holding people back when making plans.
01:48Portugal is the European country where this fear is most pronounced,
01:51and it's also the European country where high prices have the greatest impact
01:55on the budget set aside for leisure.
