Memorial Day travel expected to break 20
- Over the 2025 Memorial Day weekend, more than 45 million Americans will travel at least 50 miles from home, mostly by car, across the U.S.
- Although economic concerns existed, AAA analysts found these did not reduce travel plans, while international visits to the U.S. Have declined due to tariffs and border issues.
- AAA expects 3.6 million air travelers, nearly 2% above last year, with Orlando topping domestic destinations, supported by new theme parks and cruise ports.
- AAA predicts travel growth of 3.1%, the lowest since 2016, with gas prices averaging $3.18 per gallon, down from $3.60 last year, encouraging road trips and statewide park reservations.
- The travel surge implies sustained leisure demand despite possible heavy East Coast rain and Western U.S. Heat, while many choose shorter trips amid economic caution.
