July 4 travel to be a record breaker
AAA forecasts more Americans will travel this Independence Day than ever before. A record-breaking 44.2 million Americans, including 872,000 Tennesseans, will take to the nation’s roads, skies, rails and waterways; an increase of 34,000 Tennesseans from last year’s holiday. “This Independence Day will be historic,” says Vicky Evans, AAA . “Traveler numbers are up and prices are down, adding to what has already been a bustling summer travel season. The biggest factors driving growth are low gas prices, strong employment, rising incomes, and higher consumer confidence; but overall Americans just love to travel, and want to do something fun for this mid-summer tradition,” adds Evans. The Independence Day holiday travel period is defined as Friday, June 30 to Tuesday, July 4. Independence Day is usually the most-traveled of the “big 3” summer holidays.
