NPR - Americans love to travel, but rising costs are causing many people to pump the brakes and reconsider booking a trip. The costs of gas, lodging and recreation have all increased since the pandemic. According to the U.S. Travel Association and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, travel prices have been up 20% since August 2019. Here’s how people have been impacted:
✈️ Dozens of people informed NPR in an online survey that they cannot
afford to go anywhere this year, and those who are traveling are dialing
back.
✈️ Many people are traveling more by car and doing road trips in an attempt to save on transportation costs.
✈️ When deciding on a destination, travelers are picking nearby places, traveling domestically, instead of venturing overseas.
