'Funflation': Consumers trade pricey travel for local hobbies
Original: Funflation: Consumers spend more on hobbies closer to home as travel gets pricier
Consumers are cutting back on travel as costs climb, and instead spending more on hobbies and entertainment closer to home, a trend being called 'funflation'. The shift suggests people are protecting their leisure budgets even while pulling back on flights and trips, redirecting money toward activities like local events, dining and pastimes that feel affordable without leaving town.
Why now: Rising travel costs are pushing consumers to swap trips for cheaper local leisure spending, a behavioral shift with economic implications.
