There are a lot of things to not like about travel these days, whether it’s extra fees tacked on by airlines, or rude passengers on planes. But it seems that in the end the destination must far outweigh how we get there, because most people aren’t ready to give up traveling.
In fact, according to a new report by MarketResearch.com, the number of domestic trips in the U.S. is expected to grow at an annual rate of one-point-five-eight percent, which will come out to about $2.9 billion by 2017.
And it sounds like a lot of those travelers will be on the road this weekend. It is expected that thanks to decreased oil prices and rising employment rates, at least 25 million Americans will go somewhere this Labor Day weekend.
As for where they’ll be going, if 2014 is any indication, big cities will be more crowded than ever. Last year’s top Labor Day destinations included Las Vegas, Chicago, Atlanta, San Diego, and New York.
