The Labor Day holiday weekend is upon us and is the perfect time to kick off the U.S. fall travel season. While it’s been a crazy summer for travel, with most of the world opening up after over two years of COVID-related restrictions, Americans’ appetite for vacations isn’t satiated yet.
According to Tripadvisor’s 2022 Fall Travel Index — based on the platform’s first-party search data, combined with propriety consumer sentiment data — 61% of U.S. respondents are planning trips this autumn, if slightly differently than they’d imagined.
According to the Index, 37% of Americans still intend to travel this fall as initially planned, in spite of inflation challenges. Globally, 34% also indicated that they intend to travel as planned between September and November, despite continually rising costs.
