This Memorial Day Weekend Will Have The Highest Number Of Travelers Since 2005

Summer weather has arrived, and people are evidently planning to make the most of it over the upcoming long weekend. A huge number of Americans are planning to hit the road over Memorial Day weekend, AAA estimated on Friday. Around 42 million people are expected to take some kind of trip, a 5 percent increase from last year's holiday weekend and the highest estimate in more than a decade. "A strong economy and growing consumer confidence are giving Americans all the motivation they need to kick off what we expect to be a busy summer travel season with a Memorial Day getaway," said Bill Sutherland, senior vice president at AAA. About 37 million will be driving to their destination, despite a recent spike in gas prices.
