Missourians Hitting The Road For Long Independence Day Holiday Period

Over the upcoming holiday weekend, tens of thousands of Missourians will be declaring their independence from their houses and heading off on road trips.

Brian Ortner is a Midwest-based spokesman for Triple-A. He says travel records are being forecast for the four-day weekend, both for the Midwest and for the nation.

As far as the travel industry is concerned, the pandemic is a distant memory now, as all travel numbers are back to where they were before COVID-19 disrupted the world.
