Anticipate increased congestion beginning the latter part of next week, as numerous Americans fit in an additional road excursion during the extended Labor Day weekend.
“Most travelers will leave on Thursday or Friday before Labor Day to take advantage of the long holiday weekend,” said Paula Twidale, Senior Vice President of AAA Travel. “Domestically, the Pacific Northwest, big cities like New York and Denver, and tourist hotspots like Orlando and Las Vegas are the most popular.”
The leading five domestic places to visit include Seattle, Orlando, Anchorage, New York, and Las Vegas. The allure of Alaska cruises has significantly contributed to the tourism growth in Seattle. The destinations in Florida are well-liked not just for their beaches and theme parks, but also due to their cruise terminals in Central Florida, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, and Miami.
AAA provides recommendations for the optimal and least favorable periods to be on the road over the extended Labor Day weekend, which is commonly regarded as the conclusion of the summer season.
