Here's where Americans are vacationing this summer — and what they're spending investinyou (In partnership with acorns.)
To that point, 64% overall will drive on their summer vacation, including 53% of Gen Z vacationers and 76% of people age 74 and older, Vacasa found. That basically jibes with AAA findings, which indicate road trips are among Americans' top plans for summer getaways.
Domestic vacations are not necessarily less expensive overall, but cutting out transoceanic flights or sailings can mean savings on transportation. More than likely, vacationers exceed their budgets by not keeping a close eye on their spending during their trip.Women are the most cost-conscious spenders while away, Vacasa found. Fifty-three percent of women indicate cost/expense one of most important determining factors on where they'll travel, compared to 41% of men. Men budget $2,958 for annual vacations, on average, compared to $2,410 for women.
Sneaky cost culprits that help blow travel budgets include airport meals, resort staff tips, rideshare fares, airline baggage charges andthat people neglect to account for in advance. The latter — supposedly covering use of gyms, pools and Wi-Fi at a hotel or resort — can run about $27 per day, according to ConsumerReports.com.
