Costco Wholesale, Alibaba Group, and SoFi Technologies are the three Travel stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Travel stocks are shares of publicly traded companies whose core businesses serve the travel and tourism industry—think airlines, hotels, cruise lines, online travel agencies and tour operators. Because demand for travel tends to rise and fall with consumer confidence, economic conditions, fuel prices and global events (like health crises or geopolitical tensions), these stocks are often categorized as cyclical and can be more volatile than the broader market. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Travel stocks within the last several days.
