AAA: Summer Travel is Surging

AAA urges travelers to book their summer travel plans soon as strong bookings for cruises, tours, hotels, and flights are being reported by the Auto Club Group. A recent AAA travel survey reveals that 81% of South Carolinians will travel this year, with 56% planning a summer vacation.

The most popular vacation destinations are beaches, followed by city/major metro areas, national/state parks, international travel, and ocean/large cruises. Travelers are advised to plan ahead and use the AAA mobile app to compare prices, ensure their vehicle is road trip ready, book non-stop flights, consider travel insurance, and book rental cars early. Passports should also be checked as processing delays have increased.
