Hospitality (hotels, restaurants in path of totality)
Transportation (airlines, ground transit)
Consumer electronics (cameras, filters for photography)
Consumers will increase discretionary spending on eclipse-specific gear and travel experiences over the next 12 months. Households planning eclipse trips face higher travel costs due to surge pricing for accommodations and tours in affected regions (Greenland, Iceland, Spain). Early buyers benefit from current Black Friday discounts on optical equipment.
