WEST QUINCY, Mo. (WGEM) - AAA expects 43.8 million travelers to travel 50 miles or more from home this Memorial Day weekend. “We haven’t seen Memorial Day weekend travel numbers like these in almost 20 years,” said Paula Twidale, senior vice president of AAA Travel. “We’re projecting an additional one million travelers this holiday weekend compared to 2019, which not only means we’re exceeding pre-pandemic levels but also signals a very busy summer travel season ahead.”
