Americans have returned to travel in droves this summer, according to the American Automobile Association (AAA), with travel bookings up at least 11 percent from 2019.
As summer ends, the AAA predicts travel volumes around Labor Day will remain high but with a resurgence of COVID-19 cases attributed to the delta variant the organization is reminding travelers of the importance of remaining informed and being flexible as policies and guidelines continue to evolve.
“Whether and how to travel is a very personal decision,” said Paula Twidale, Senior Vice President of AAA Travel.
“By and large, people who were planning to travel are still taking their trips, while being mindful to take precautions to protect themselves and others. The hottest summer travel destinations by far have been Mexico, Hawaii and popular cities throughout the US, as well as cruises to Alaska, Greece and the Caribbean.”
To help those travelling by road stay informed the AAA has a COVID-19 Travel Restrictions Map and TripTik.AAA.com.
