Celia Fuller, a book designer from Tuckahoe, New York, has often let her personal interests guide her travel plans. For several years, she attended Formula 1 races in Montreal with friends. "We would return to the same French restaurant every trip and see F1 team members eating there," she shared. "Or run into them in the elevator at our hotel. It was cool."
Fuller has also faced challenges when traveling for events. She intends to visit the Solid Sound Festival in North Adams, Massachusetts next summer. However, Airbnb hosts sometimes cancel existing reservations to relist properties at higher prices once performance dates are announced.
Unplanned overlaps with major events can also disrupt vacations. Travelers might not partake in the festivities but will still face crowds and increased costs.
