Atlanta Named No. 2 Best City for Staycations
Friday, May 29th, 2015
Summer hasn’t even officially started, and travel is already trending upward, as Americans can’t seem to wait for an escape. More than 37 million people ventured at least 50 miles from home throughout Memorial Day weekend, according to AAA, and 81 percent of Americans are planning a summer vacation this year.
The 2015 summer travel season is also expected to be rather less expensive – with 42 percent of vacationers spending more than $1,500, whereas 10 percent are spending more than $3,000, down from 46 percent and 13 percent, respectively, in 2014 – due in part to a decrease in hotel and airfare costs in popular destinations.
