Leisure spending trends have been significantly impacted by inflation, influencing consumer behavior in the entertainment industry. As inflation rises, consumers may adjust their leisure spending habits to accommodate higher prices for entertainment activities and experiences.

For example, the cost of movie tickets, concert admission, and theme park tickets may increase as a result of inflation. This can lead consumers to seek alternative, more affordable forms of entertainment, such as streaming services, local community events, or outdoor activities.
