A recent Ipsos poll revealed that Americans expect to spend an average of $3,132 on summer vacations this year, a decline on 25.4% from an average of $4,199 in 2024, according to the Washington Post. Fifty-six percent of Americans said they plan to travel less this year, opting for shorter or more budget-friendly trips due to financial concerns. Despite the decline in vacation spending, total U.S. travel expenditures are forecast to reach $1.35 trillion in 2025, up from $1.30 trillion last year, according to data from Statista.
