Alibaba Group, Costco Wholesale, SoFi Technologies, Booking, and American Express are the five Travel stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Travel stocks are shares of publicly traded companies whose core business involves travel and tourism—such as airlines, hotel chains, cruise lines, car rental firms and online booking platforms. By investing in these stocks, investors gain exposure to consumer travel demand, which tends to rise during economic expansions and fall in downturns or amid global disruptions. While travel stocks can offer significant growth when tourism rebounds, they also carry elevated risk from seasonality, geopolitical events, health crises and regulatory changes. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Travel stocks within the last several days.
