A recent AAA report revealed there are twice as many bookings of flights, hotels, cruises and rental cars for the 2022 Memorial Day weekend, compared to last year’s holiday.  AAA expects that momentum to carry into the summer travel season.

Over 3 in 5 (63%) Georgians will take at least one trip in 2022. The largest share (53%) plan to travel this summer.

Most popular summer vacations:

• Beaches (53%)
• Theme Parks (34%)
• National/state parks (27%)
• Resort vacations (25%)
• City/major metro destinations (20%)
• Ocean cruise (20%)

“The summer travel season is less than a month away, yet 49% of Georgians say they haven’t booked their travel plans yet,” Haas continued. “My advice to them is to book now. Inflationary pressures and strong demand will make it harder to find a last minute deal. By booking early, you’ll have the best combination of availability and competitive pricing.”

Despite higher gas prices, 85% of Georgia summer travelers still plan to take a road trip of 50 miles or more this summer. However, 74% of Georgians say they will adjust their travel habits to offset the higher price at the pump.
