53% of travelers are planning more short trips or weekend getaways this year, a Pilot and Campspot Summer Travel Survey found. Ahead of National Road Trip Day, about 2,000 road trippers shared their plans for the upcoming summer season. 66% say the best part of a road trip is discovering hidden gems, and 61% enjoy the scenic views. When it comes to snack strategies, 57% crave a mix of salty and sweet. “Travelers are rewriting the rules of summer getaways by choosing closer escapes, simpler plans and spontaneous moments that bring genuine connection,” Jeff Bettin of Campspot said. To kick off the season, Pilot is launching a $15,000 giveaway to travelers! Follow @PilotFlyingJ on Instagram for more information and to enter for a chance to win. (Business Wire)
