AAA Reports 20 Percent Increase in Labor Day Travel Costs

AAA reported that travel costs for the Labor Day holiday have increased by 20 percent this year. These price hikes impact the majority of travel sectors, specifically airfare and hotels, although cruises remain an exception to the trend.

National average gas prices have risen, and the organization anticipates further increases as the holiday approaches. While gas prices in Georgia have seen a slight decrease, the broader national trend remains upward. Despite the higher costs, demand for Labor Day travel remains strong.
