Airbnb has introduced a policy preventing hosts in Los Angeles and Ventura counties from increasing prices by more than 10% after wildfires, following warnings from California’s attorney general about illegal price gouging. In the airline industry, 2024 saw record-breaking passenger capacity despite fewer scheduled flights, with U.S. airlines dominating the global market and Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson ranking as the busiest airport. Meanwhile, luxury cruise company Ponant Explorations Group acquired Aqua Expeditions, expanding its presence in the high-end, small-ship cruising sector, with plans for new itineraries in East Africa.
