More than three-quarters of Americans (77%) plan to take a trip this summer, according to the results of a Harris Poll survey requested by the Let’s Go There coalition of 75 travel companies and organizations.

The strong number represents a stark one-year turnaround: a similar Harris Poll conducted in June 2020 found that just 29% of Americans planned summer leisure travel amid the grip of the COVID pandemic.
The latest poll’s sample reflects the sentiments of all Americans. The poll also found:
Two-thirds of Americans have a summer trip either already planned out (36%) or booked (30%).
Of the Americans who have summer travel either planned or booked, more than half (53%) will be traveling for the very first time since the start of the pandemic.
