Americans are scaling back on spring break trips

Due to rising costs, this year Americans are scaling back on spring break trips.

The study found that 70% of travelers opting for trips this year are tweaking at least one part of their plans to save money, such as changing their trip duration, destination, travel method, excursions or activities, or accommodations.

Compared to previous years, 35% of those who are planning to travel are staying closer to home, 33% are budgeting more for gas and 32% are driving instead of flying.

What effect will this have on cities and sectors that rely on a nighttime economic boost from spring break travelers?
