A new Bloomberg survey found that 67 percent of U.S. vacationers will plan to spend more on travel in 2024.

My first reaction…well yeah, everything costs more these days. Americans are well aware of rising prices everywhere, so it’s natural to expect to have to spend more on a vacation this year.

The fact it’s a thought already set for many is one thing, but the beauty of it all is that whatever the cost is, people are still going.

They’re jet-setting, hitting the road, jumping onboard cruise ships and trains and moving all about the world.

The plans for 2024 are big. There will be highs and lows and ebbs and flows.

But whatever the cost of things, people aren’t holding back from paying up for their favorite travel experiences.

So, how are you spending your money on travel in 2024?
