If you’re planning summer or fall travel during these tournaments, or perhaps planning to attend some of the games, start your planning well in advance and book early. In previous years, airfare and accommodation costs have skyrocketed for host locations due to increased demand. Be mindful of your personal vacation destinations during this time and book your flights/accommodations as early as you can.
