With the economy making gains recently, Thanksgiving travel is looking up again. It is expected that 42.2 million people will travel at least 50 miles to get to their respective locations during the five day period from this Wednesday the 24th to Sunday the 28th. This shows an 11% increase in those traveling for Thanksgiving from last year.
Interestingly enough, the travel is expected to increase despite higher gas prices, at almost $0.24 higher then last year--but the article speculated that is because relative to last year families are generally in much better financial situations.
Hopefully the expectations are fulfilled or even surpassed and maybe we will see more trends like this as our economy continues to improve.
