Polling conducted by The Points Guy and YouGov has found that Americans plan to keep on traveling, despite higher costs for gasoline. The Points Guy’s Clint Henderson explains:
Despite soaring gas prices, Americans’ appetite for travel seems insatiable, with Memorial Day weekend travel showing few signs of any major slowdown.
While prices are about 27% higher year-over-year for summer travel, according to our partners at Points Path, there have been few signs of consumers giving up on summer trips — at least thus far.
However, new polling from TPG and YouGov suggests that the traveling public could soon reach a breaking point.
Some 32% of those who plan to travel this summer say they will reconsider travel if prices keep rising.
