Peak Summer Travel Expected Amid Rising Costs
The 1977 travel season is seen as a banner year with AAA reporting a dip in long road trips in early 1977 but passports rising 15 percent. Driving costs rise to 20.2 cents a mile, about $202 per 1,000 miles, while budget motels offer cheaper stays. USTA estimates show international tourism grew 18 percent to $40 billion in 1976, with the U.S. share near $7 billion. Florida expects half a million Latin visitors who will spend about $400 million in Miami before visiting Orlando.
