According to AAA, approximately 122.4 million Americans are expected to travel at least 50 miles from home during the 13-day year-end holiday period starting December 20 and ending on New Year’s Day. This marks a 2.2% increase from the previous year’s 119.7 million travelers. The data indicates a strong preference for warm weather destinations, with Cancun, Mexico, leading the list of international travel spots. Domestically, Florida cities such as Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami are among the most popular destinations. The majority of travelers, about 109 million, will be driving, while 8 million will fly, and 4.9 million will use other modes of transportation. AAA attributes the popularity of driving to its convenience and cost-effectiveness.
