Rising gas prices not lowering US travel demand

Thursday, 4 August 20053 min read

Travelers are not discouraged from taking leisure trips despite rising gas prices, says AAA.

In checking AAA Auto Club South, the organization found that 93% of members in three states plan no let-up in summer trips.

Other findings:

  • More than two-thirds of those surveyed said they planned at least one leisure trip in the next year.
  • Six in 10 members say high gas prices will not make them cancel their plans but could affect future travel plans and destinations.
