2024 Deloitte summer travel survey

According to the Deloitte 2024 Summer Travel Survey, Americans plan to travel and stay in paid lodging this summer

This summer Americans’ eyes are on the horizon again, as nearly half (48%) of the respondents to the 2024 Deloitte summer travel survey plan to take vacations involving paid lodging (see methodology). But they are also watching the price tag. Although Americans’ financial confidence is similar to summer 2023, the perception of inflated fares and fees is affecting every aspect of travel this season.

Key takeaways

• Air travel soars at home and abroad as 52 percent of all summer travelers surveyed plan to fly domestically, and 22 percent plan to fly internationally;
• Summer traveler demographics are shifting as a larger share of higher-income and older travelers has a significant impact on travel budgets;
• Workplace flexibility and remote work continue to drive travel plans, as 21 percent of those surveyed plan to work during, and for more of, their most extended trip this summer.
