Abstract:

Americans took more mid-range trips during the recent 2021 Memorial Day weekend than they did in both 2019 and 2020. Data BTS analyzed indicate that Americans took 6.1 billion total trips over the 2021 Memorial Day weekend, the traditional kickoff weekend for summer travel. That’s a 13% increase over 2020’s 5.4 billion trips. Although that increase signals a possibly busy season ahead, it still fell 12% short of pre-pandemic 2019’s 6.9 billion trips.
