A new national survey commissioned by the American Hotel & Lodging Association shows that many Americans are not expected to travel this holiday seasons. Results show that 72% of Americans are unlikely to travel for Thanksgiving and 69% are unlikely to travel for Christmas, compounding the challenges for the hotel industry during this public health crisis. According to AAA Auto Club, Americans’ decisions to travel for the Thanksgiving holiday are being impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including health concerns and high unemployment. With health and government officials stressing that staying home is the best way to protect yourself and others from getting sick, AAA anticipates at least a 10% drop in travel overall – the largest one-year decrease since the Great Recession in 2008. Based on mid-October forecast models, AAA would have expected up to 50 million Americans to travel for Thanksgiving – a drop from 55 million in 2019
