AAA expects that the vast majority of Americans will stay home this holiday season. Public health concerns and travel guidelines are influencing their decisions not to travel over the year-end holidays, a period that typically sees high demand for vacations and road trips. While AAA expects at least 34 million fewer travelers compared to last year’s holiday season, as many as 84.5 million Americans may still travel from today through Jan. 3, a decline in travel of at least 29%.
“During any other year, many Americans would be using up their vacation days by taking a year-end cruise or oversees trip, but this year we expect more people will be visiting with their families and friends virtually,” Bevi Powell, senior vice president of AAA East Central, said in a statement. “More Americans will spend time at home and in quarantine, which we believe will lead to further pent-up demand for travel when the pandemic comes to a close.”
Despite health officials' warnings, 84.5 million Americans expected to travel for Christmas
