Travel around the Fourth of July holiday is projected to be extremely busy, with a record 71 million Americans to be on the move.
Eighty-five percent of the travelers, or about 60 million people, will hit the road to get to their destination. Vacationers are likely to tack on a couple of extra days this summer holiday compared with briefer stays in past years, according to AAA Nevada.
“Travelers are opting to take longer trips with Independence Day falling on a Thursday,” Brian Ng, AAA Nevada spokesman, said in a statement. “This further fuels summer travel demand that is showing no signs of slowing down.”
