Yahoo Finance reports that a new Savvy survey of more than 1,000 U.S. travelers found 77 percent plan to take a leisure trip this summer, even as rising accommodation costs reshape how they book. Nearly half expect to spend more on lodging in 2026 than they did last year. The response: travelers are booking earlier, comparing prices more carefully, and going direct. CEO Eric Goldreyer put it plainly. "When a family saves three or four hundred dollars on a booking, that's real money. Another night, something they almost skipped, a meal they'll talk about for years. That's the whole point of Savvy."​​​​‌‍​‍​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌​‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍​‍​‍​​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍​‍‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌‍‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‍‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‌‌‍‌‌​‌​​‍​‍​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‍‌‌‍‌‍​‌​‍​‌‍​‍​‍‌​‌​‌‍​​​​‍‌​‍‌​‍‌​‍‌‌‍​‌​‌​‍‌​‍‌‌‍‌‌​‌​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‍‌​‌‍​‍​‌​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌‍‌​‌‌​​‍‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‍​‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌​​‌‌​​‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‍‌‍​​‌​‍‌‌​​‍‌​‌‍‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‌‌‍‌‌​‌​​‍​‍​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‍‌‌‍‌‍​‌​‍​‌‍​‍​‍‌​‌​‌‍​​​​‍‌​‍‌​‍‌​‍‌‌‍​‌​‌​‍‌​‍‌‌‍‌‌​‌​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‍‌​‌‍​‍​‌​‌​‌​​‍‌‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌‍‌​‌‌​​‍‌‍‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‍​‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌​​‌‌​​‍‌‍‌​​‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌​‌​​‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍‍​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍‌‌
