The AAA Mid-Atlantic published a report of a survey which states that the approximately 590000 or 87 per cent of the Marylanders are expected to travel this year by car of a total number of 678000.

There is a significant rise in the rate of travel by boat and other modes of transport. Reliable sources say that it is 1.1 and 2.7 per cent respectively.
Ragina C. Averella, a spokesperson to AAA Mid-Atlantic comments that the Marylanders are aiming to utilize their holidays by planning to retreat into their favorite locales and tourists spots. Many of the inhabitants unfortunately did not get the opportunity to make use of their holidays. Therefore, they were unable to plan any vacation for the last two major summer holidays.
This trend of the Marylanders tends to focus on the rise of gasoline prices. Market report surmises that there could be an increase in the price because of boost in travel. However, on Monday petrol in Maryland remains at $3.54 per gallon, which is unexpectedly, 2 cents lower than the last week. Last year it was 17 cents more than what is it now. Even the price of gas was 14 cents more last month. Officials of various tours and travels believe that the prices will remain stable through the holiday period. These will be beneficial to all types of vacationers. Those that are travelling close distance and the ones who are travelling farther.
According to the current data available around 56 per cent of the holidaymakers in Maryland is expected to travel between 50 and 400 miles, which show a significant rise compared to last year. Last year it was 46 per cent. The standard mileage is 592 miles that is a 23 per cent augmentation over last year.
A positive change in the economic scenario of the Marylanders also prompted them to plan for holidays. The financial conditioned has shown a significant transformation in the current year. Hence, the pent up demand suddenly showed an upward graph. AAA Travel shows that nearly 34.1 million Americans will journey this coming weekend, which is a 4.2 per cent rise over the last year.
However, it is certain that the travelling will be done by the couples or single adults. As the children are at their academic institutions the family travelers will decrease to just 27 per cent of total travelling mass. This 36 per cent is certainly lower compared to July 4 travelling stats.
