Shopping Alert: Your Summer Vacation Just Got More Expensive Thanks to Corbin Love Island
The latest Love Island drama is hitting your wallet. Corbin, the newest contestant on "Love Island USA," is already driving up the cost of your dream vacation. Since his arrival, booking data shows a 22% spike in flights to his hometown of Santa Monica, and resorts are hiking prices by an average of $150 per night to cash in on the "Corbin effect." Plus, hotels are requiring a minimum three-night stay to block rooms near the villa. If you were planning a last-minute beach trip, expect to pay 15-20% more than last week. Travel experts say the hype won't cool down until Corbin is eliminated, so book early or avoid the premium zones.
