Labor Day Weekend Could Signal Travel Recovery


CNN.com is reporting that this Labor Day weekend could indicate a rebound in U.S. travel. According to CNN.com:

More than 39 million Americans will be traveling on vacation -- at least 50 miles from home -- this Labor Day weekend, slightly more than the 37.1 million who traveled on the Fourth of July weekend, according to AAA. July Fourth is typically the busiest automobile travel holiday of the year.

"That is good news for the travel industry," said AAA spokesman Geoff Sundstrom. "It means that the number of people traveling is gaining momentum as we close out the summer driving season."

Robert L. Darbelnet, AAA president and CEO, also called the numbers "a positive sign."
