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.
勞動節假期的旅行量較去年大幅增加，數據顯示。
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.
國內旅行與去年同期相比增長了9％，美國汽車協會（AAA）的預訂數據顯示前往西雅圖的旅行增加了30％，部分原因是西雅圖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.
「現在是一年中去阿拉斯加旅行的好時機。與夏季早些時候相比，人群要少一些，天氣仍然不錯，儘管比七、八月要冷一些，並且你甚至可能看到一些秋天的顏色，」AAA俄勒岡/愛達荷區的旅行高級副總裁多琳·盧夫伯羅說。
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.
根據美國汽車協會的數據，勞動節期間的汽油價格在全國平均爲每加侖3.35美元，低於2023年同期每加侖3.81美元的平均價格。
