Travel up this fall, says TIA

Tuesday, 16 Sep, 2004 0

A high interest in leisure travel and a strong return of business travel could combine to make this fall one of the strongest in years, according to the Travel Industry Association of America (TIA).

The TIA said Americans will take 278 million person-trips during September, October and November of this year. That’s an increase of 3.1% over last fall.

What’s behind it?

“Consumers’ pent-up demand and corporate America’s healthier bottom line are merging go create a ripe environment for the travel market,” said Suzanne Cook, senior vice president of research for the TIA.

Americans plan on taking 224.8 million leisure person-trips this fall, or up 2.6% from last year, according to the TIA.
