Millions of Americans are gearing up for a busy Memorial Day weekend, with travel demand expected to remain strong despite rising vacation costs. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the upcoming hurricane season is likely to be below-normal, providing a welcome boost to travelers' confidence. However, the good news may be tempered by increased prices for flights, hotels, and rental cars, which are expected to make this summer's vacation season more expensive than usual. As a result, travelers are advised to plan ahead and book their trips well in advance to avoid sticker shock and secure their spot in the sun.
