War prompts Europeans to switch holidays away from eastern Mediterranean

European holidaymakers are redirecting summer travel plans away from the eastern Mediterranean—including Cyprus, Turkey, and Greece—toward western Mediterranean destinations like Italy, Spain, Malta, and Croatia, as well as the Caribbean. The shift is driven by flight cancellations and airspace closures stemming from the US-Israel war on Iran. Travel companies are counting the economic cost of the Middle East conflict's impact on regional tourism.
