Higher gas prices. Limited air travel options. Packed cruise ships. Hotel rooms and campsites booked up months in advance. Yes, it’s that time of year again — summer vacation season! And that means a bevy of both risks and opportunities for businesses and consumers alike. Anyone else get thirsty at the mention of a ‘bevy’?  On this episode of Wheel of Risk, host Alix McCabe is joined once again by series stalwart and Senior Economist for North America at Allianz Trade, Dan North, to dive into the economic ups and downs associated with summer travel. They’ll explore which types of business and which industries tend to see a seasonal spike in spending, and what companies can do to cash in on those juicy, tourist dollars. They’ll also explain why some goods and services tend to get more expensive over the summer, and how individual travelers can maximize their time and their money. Listen until the very end for a special ‘Hot or Not’ segment, where Dan shares his take on recent summer travel trends.
