WALNUT CREEK – This year’s record-breaking summer travel season is closing out with surging demand for Alaska cruises, European cities, and tourist attractions, according to AAA booking data.
Port cities like Seattle, Anchorage, and Juneau saw cruise bookings rise by as much as 30% compared with 2023. All three cities rank among this year’s most popular domestic destinations for Labor Day along with other cities like San Francisco and Las Vegas.
Overall domestic travel over Labor Day weekend is up 9 percent compared to last year, while the cost to travel domestically is down 2 percent. Aside from Seattle, top Labor Day destinations within the U.S. include Orlando, New York, Boston, Las Vegas and Denver.
AAA booking data indicates a 4 percent drop for international travel this year. Vancouver tops the list of popular international destinations with European cities like Rome, London, and Paris also ranking high.
“For Labor Day travel, timing is everything,” said Brian Ng, Senior Vice President of Membership and Travel Marketing for AAA Northern California. “To make the most of the holiday, leave early, have a backup plan, and plan activities that allow you to savor the final moments of the season.”
