The AAA report also stated that despite historically high gas prices, 90% of travelers will drive this Memorial Day Holiday period.
Gas prices for Memorial Day are likely to be the highest on record with the average gas price at $4.15 in Georgia, according to AAA. But that’s not stopping travelers.
“Coming out of this two-year pandemic, Georgians are eager to travel again, and it doesn’t seem like record high gas prices or other inflationary pressures will stop them,” said Montrae Waiters, spokeswoman, AAA.
This marks the second highest single-year increase in travelers since 2010, with 2021 being the highest. The AAA reports that these volumes are almost in line with pre-pandemic levels.
