Despite economic uncertainties, the Memorial Day travel forecast predicts a record-breaking turnout, potentially surpassing a 20-year-old record. According to AAA, approximately 45.1 million Americans are expected to travel domestically for the holiday weekend. This trend reflects a preference for road trips over air travel, as economic fears discourage flying. States like Indiana and Tennessee anticipate significant increases in travelers, with Tennessee expecting a record 948,000 residents to travel domestically.
