After a year of the coronavirus outbreak, more Americans plan to travel again for summer vacation. One-third of Americans are planning to go away for vacation this summer, and more than half who plan to do so say they will travel at least 500 miles away from home. Thirty-four percent of Americans say they plan to go away for vacation this summer, while 63% will not.
The percentage of Americans who plan to go away for the summer has increased from last summer and is now nearly at the level it was in 2019 before the coronavirus pandemic began. In 2020, just 22% of Americans said they intended to go away for the summer, and most who had those plans last year thought it was at least somewhat likely they would have to cancel their plans due to the pandemic. More than half who are traveling will be traveling 500 miles or more, including 31% who plan to travel 1,000 miles or more.More Related News
