Who can blame travelers for wanting to sit this World Cup out given all the reasons (some valid) they get from news reports every day?

The World Cup is a perfect example of how sports fans are less likely to wait to book travel to games for fear flights, hotels and game tickets will sell out. They're likely more impulsive with making travel decisions and will often make them on the go, where mobile devices are at the ready.

Two of the largest global tourism events occurring in one year was problematic enough, but pushing them to within one or two months would create huge opportunities for travel companies, as well as congestion and confusion.
