PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio)
— A lot of Americans, keen on not missing their yearly getaway, are opting for more budget-friendly choices.
Jana Tidwell from AAA Mid-Atlantic mentioned that each summer has seen heavy traffic due to vacationers ever since the pandemic made air travel unviable for a while.
After the pandemic, individuals were eager not to miss out on the chance to travel once it was restored,” she explained. “There emerged an almost unspoken expectation for people not to forego that possibility of traveling.
Securing a reservation at the Jersey Shore has become considerably simpler compared to previous years. In Ocean City, rental prices vary from around $1,000 per week during mid-July up to multiple thousands of dollars for bigger, more opulent houses.
Travelers should be prepared to closely monitor their finances this year due to the implementation of new tariff policies, and Tidwell recommends discovering new destinations.
An alternative could be trading a beachside week for an adventure on the open road.
It usually represents the most practical form of transport; it offers maximum flexibility, allowing you to begin and end your journey at whatever time suits you best,” she stated. “Hence, we can expect that the majority of tourists will continue to travel by car.
Tidwell additionally suggested reserving a hotel that offers complimentary breakfast, as this move has the potential to cut costs significantly, particularly for family trips.
“That could result in significant savings over several days, plus the ease of heading down to the hotel lobby for breakfast right before you start your daily activities,” she mentioned.
