More than 50 million people will be traveling this upcoming Fourth of July weekend, breaking records and underscoring Americans’ post-pandemic thirst for experiences, according to new projections.
AAA is estimating that 50.7 million people will travel by car, plane, train, bus and cruise boat over the long weekend, zooming past the 48.7 million Fourth of July travelers last year, and even 2019’s record of 49 million. AAA spokeswoman Aixa Diaz says it’s the last vestiges of revenge travel — that is, Americans’ desire to get out into the world after the pandemic’s heavy toll. COVID restrictions have faded away, and even more people may feel comfortable getting back to recreation with more family and bigger crowds, she said.
