With pandemic-era travel restrictions behind us and an improving economic
landscape ahead, travel stocks are adjusting to a new era of global travel.
Consumer travel rates for air travel, hotel bookings and more are rising
rapidly. While inflation certainly exerts some downward pressure on global and
domestic travel, indicators of decreasing inflation suggest a potential travel
surge as we march through 2024. This presents several top travel stocks to buy
this year.

These travel stocks represent the best way to leverage this upward momentum with
minimal risk. Each company holds a dominant market share in its respective
category and is recovering strongly from the pandemic-era downturns, with
per-share pricing rebounding toward or surpassing 2019 levels.




BOOKING HOLDINGS (BKNG)

Booking Holdings (NASDAQ:BKNG), recognized for its extensive travel services,
including Priceline and Kayak, is an all-in-one travel stock set to boom as we
enter the summer season. Though shares trade above $3,500, the company’s strong
financial performance and a positive sector outlook point to big things ahead. A
subdued forecast in February pushed shares down nearly 10%, making today a
perfect buying time — if you hurry. In 2023, its free cash flow per share
reached $193.66. With huge institutional ownership, Booking Holdings is a
cash-cow stock that uses hefty free cash flow to boost share pricing via a
robust 8.87% total yield.

Analysts expect Booking Holdings to grow as the global travel market recovers
from the pandemic’s impact. The company’s latest earnings report supports this
positive outlook, displaying a 16% year-over-year increase in quarterly gross
travel bookings and a 24% annual growth in this area. Moreover, annual income
jumped by 40% after a 25% rise in revenue, demonstrating management’s ability to
navigate higher interest rates and boost profit margins through effective cost
control.




AIRBNB (ABNB)

Although the heyday of professional Airbnb (NASDAQ:ABNB) hosts might be waning,
this shift does not spell disaster for the travel stock giant. Instead, Airbnb’s
user base is returning to the platform’s original concept of offering spare
space as a budget-friendly alternative to hotels. Despite facing significant
challenges, such as a $10 million fine for misleading international customers by
listing prices in USD rather than local currencies, Airbnb’s market dominance
remains unchallenged.

Airbnb holds a 20% share of the total vacation rental market, a remarkable
achievement given its competition with established hotel chains. Additionally,
the platform’s listing and booking rates have climbed above their pre-pandemic
levels in 2019, demonstrating Airbnb’s effective navigation through the
pandemic’s obstacles.

In its most recent earnings report, Airbnb disclosed nearly a 17% increase in
revenue year-over-year and a 15% rise in gross booking value. Spurred by the
holiday travel surge, this growth is expected to continue as we move into the
spring and summer travel seasons.




TRIP.COM GROUP (TCOM)

Trip.com Group (NASDAQ:TCOM), a Chinese travel stock, is returning after the
government ended its Zero-Covid policies, with a 40% return since January 1st
and prices approaching pre-pandemic levels. This recovery positions Trip.com
Group for a potential surge as the company serves over half of the Chinese
tourism market, including airline ticketing, hotel bookings and general travel
planning.

Before the pandemic, the Chinese tourism market was a formidable economic force,
with nearly 155 million Chinese tourists traveling internationally in 2019. This
number plummeted to around 20 million in 2020. However, by the first half of
2023, nearly 40 million had traveled abroad and this upward trend is expected to
continue, potentially driving TCOM’s per-share price to new highs.

Additionally, Trip.com is expanding focus beyond China to capture a larger share
of the broader Asian international travel market and explore other global
markets. The company is also enhancing its digital and personalized service
offerings to meet the changing needs of consumers, aiming to attract and retain
attention and build brand loyalty in a highly competitive environment.
