More people traveling this holiday weekend
A survey by travel organization AAA projects that the number of Americans traveling over the holiday weekend will increase 17.1 percent from 2009, according to a report by the Chicago Tribune. The survey projects 34.9 million travelers will take a trip at least 50 miles away from home sometime between July 1 and July 5.
Roughly 90 percent of travelers, or 31.4 million people, are expected to travel by car, up almost 18 percent from the number in 2009.
Though traveling may be up, the AAA survey also found that median spending by travelers is estimated to be $644 this holiday weekend, nearly $50 less than last year.
