Large-scale gatherings—including the Winter Olympics in Italy, the FIFA World Cup across Mexico, the U.S., and Canada, Chinese New Year travel surges, and Carnival celebrations in Brazil and the Caribbean—will create significant crowd density, infrastructure strain, price fluctuations, and increased safety considerations for students traveling or studying abroad.
