- 7 years ago
The slowly improving economy could boost travel over the Thanksgiving holiday to levels not seen in nine years.
AAA forecasts that 48.7 million Americans will travel, the busiest Thanksgiving period on U.S. roads and skies since 2007, the year before the global financial crisis plunged the U.S. economy into a deep recession.
AAA expects that 43.5 million Americans will travel at least 50 miles from home between Wednesday, Nov. 23 and Sunday Nov. 27—a 1.9% increase compared to 2015.
