Recent polling indicates that many Americans plan to increase their travel in 2025, despite economic concerns. The Federal Reserve has raised alarms about the economy's health, and major airlines like American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and Southwest Airlines have reported weaker-than-expected revenues early this year. However, screenings at Transportation Security Administration checkpoints have not shown significant declines in passenger traffic.
The Harris Poll commissioned by The Points Guy found that 76% of Americans intend to travel in 2025. Of these, 71% plan domestic trips while 29% are looking internationally. Over a third (35%) of respondents aim to travel more than last year, with only 8% planning less travel.
The survey suggests men are slightly more inclined to travel than women. Among age groups, Gen Zers are less likely to travel domestically compared to millennials, Gen Xers, and baby boomers. Internationally, Gen Zers and millennials show higher intentions for international trips than older generations.
