Labor Day Getaway: Travelers Hit The Road As Gas Prices Drop
Labor Day Getaway: Travelers Hit The Road As Gas Prices Drop
Travel over the Labor Day holiday has picked up significantly from a year ago, data revealed.
劳动节假期的旅行量较去年大幅增加，数据显示。
Domestic travel is up 9% from the same period last year as American Automobile Association (AAA) booking data shows a 30% jump in trips to Seattle, partly because Seattle is a major port city for cruises to Alaska.
国内旅行与去年同期相比增长了9％，美国汽车协会（AAA）的预订数据显示前往西雅图的旅行增加了30％，部分原因是西雅图是前往阿拉斯加的主要港口城市。
"This is a great time of year to take a cruise to Alaska. Crowds are smaller than earlier in the summer, the weather is still decent, although chillier than in July and August, and you may even see some fall colors," said Doreen Loofburrow, senior vice president of travel at AAA Oregon/Idaho.
“现在是一年中去阿拉斯加旅行的好时机。与夏季早些时候相比，人群要少一些，天气仍然不错，尽管比七、八月要冷一些，并且你甚至可能看到一些秋天的颜色，”AAA俄勒冈/爱达荷区的旅行高级副总裁多琳·卢夫伯罗说。
Gas prices over Labor Day are averaging $3.35 a gallon nationwide, down from an average of $3.81 a gallon during the same period in 2023, according to AAA.
根据美国汽车协会的数据，劳动节期间的汽油价格在全国平均为每加仑3.35美元，低于2023年同期每加仑3.81美元的平均价格。
