If you’re like more than 103 million Americans, you’ll travel to a destination away from your home to celebrate the holidays on or between Friday, December 23, 2016 and January 2, 2017. AAA expects 1.5 million more people to travel during the year-end holidays compared to last year, which marks a 1.5 percent increase in the number of holiday travelers.
“’Tis the season for holiday travel, and this year more Americans will travel to celebrate the holidays and ring in the New Year than ever before,” said AAA President and CEO Marshall Doney. “Rising incomes and continued low gas prices should make for a joyous holiday travel season.”
In addition to growing incomes and lower fuel prices, increased consumer spending on things such as the 2017 Lexus IS is also one of the reasons why a record number of people will be traveling away from home close to the end of the year. While 2.5 percent of holiday travelers will take to the air to reach their destinations, the majority will drive. AAA estimates that 93.6 million individuals will drive to their destinations this holiday season, an increase of 1.5 percent over last year.
