AAA projects increase in Thanksgiving travel to mountains

But travel won't be as busy as 2007

Mountain states including Colorado are expected to have 2.5 million travelers this Thanksgiving holiday weekend (Nov. 25-29), up 0.3 percent over the same weekend in 2008 but still down from 2007, according to a press release from AAA.

“Last year, Thanksgiving travel dropped a steep 25.2 percent nationwide in the wake of the ongoing housing and financial crisis,” according to the press release.

Airfares are expected to be down 4 percent and car rental prices down 3 percent relative to 2008. AAA's projections are based on research by IHS Global Insight.
