Holiday Travelers to Top Record 100 Million

AAA projects the number of year-end holiday travelers will top 100 million for the first time on record.

That is, nearly one in three Americans will take a trip this 2015 holiday season, with 100.5 million expected to journey 50 miles or more from home. The year-end holiday travel period is defined as Dec. 23 to Jan. 3.

“Rising incomes and low gas prices are helping to fill stockings this year, and more people than ever will choose to spend those savings on travel this year,” said Marshall Doney, AAA President and CEO.

Speaking of low gas prices, find the best places to fill up or top off near home and near your destination.
