Research from Deloitte found that nearly 50 percent of U.S. consumers have planned to take an overnight leisure trip in a hotel, motel, or timeshare for Thanksgiving until March.

In Florida state alone, AAA estimated that over two million citizens will travel for the
Thanksgiving holiday, which marks a three percent increase over Thanksgiving travels last year. Across the country, more than 38 million people will travel past 50 miles for the Thanksgiving weekend.

“We take the projected increase in travelers as a sign that economic recovery may finally be taking root and we believe many Americans certainly share the same hope,” said Kevin Bakewell, senior VP of AAA Auto Club South.
