Europe's Eclipse Triggers Sharp Jump in Hotel Prices

A rare total solar eclipse visible across parts of Europe spurred a concentrated spike in travel demand, with Reykjavik hotels around $1,012 a night and short-term rentals about $1,172 during the eclipse week; Spain’s A Coruña and Bilbao also posted higher rates. As the date neared, many prices were discounted, illustrating a temporary surge rather than a lasting shift in tourism patterns.
