CRUZ: The Airline, Hotel & Cruise Line ETF
Travel ETF: The Travel Reopening Trade
Covid-19 confined us to our homes, kept us away from family and interrupted business trips. With the vaccine rollout, Omicron’s apparent wane and significant industry adjustments, the time to travel, explore, experience and reconnect has arrived.
The desire to compensate for the restrictions of the past two years with longer, further and more expensive holidays is just a part of the story. The pandemic brought the $8.9 trillion global travel and tourism industry to its knees. But with testing, safeguarding procedures and unprecedented use of technology, it appears ready to stand again.
2022 could see pent up demand ready to realign with a travel resurgence. And investors are wondering how to position themselves to benefit.
Cruise stocks vs cruise ETFs, airline stocks vs airline ETFs; hotel stocks vs hotel ETFs. Defiance’s CRUZ offers it all in one.
CRUZ – Invest in Cruise Lines, Airlines and Hotels
Defiance’s Hotel, Airline, and Cruise line ETF gives retail and institutional investors exposure to a cross section of companies that we believe have significant growth potential. It seeks to track the performance before fees and expenses of the BlueStar Global Hotels, Airlines, and Cruises Index, a rules-based weighted index of companies primarily engaged in the passenger airline, hotel and cruise industries.
