May 21, 2010

PHOENIX (AP) - AAA predicts more Arizonans will be on the road this Memorial Day weekend compared to a year ago.

For the first time since 2005, the auto club's annual Memorial Day travel forecast is projecting an increase in travel for the first 3-day weekend of the summer at both national and state levels.

More than 701,000 Arizonans are projected to travel 50 or more miles from home over the first summer holiday weekend.

If the numbers come true, it would represent a jump of 7.5%, which translates to nearly 49,000 more travelers compared to last year. They'll likely experience cheaper gas prices and lodging costs along the way.

Nationwide, AAA said 32.1 million Americans will travel over Memorial Day weekend, an increase of more than five percent, or 1.64 million more travelers compared to last year.
