NCP Blog: On the Road Again

Do you go on road trips? We do! Whether it be for a day trip to hike, or a week-long vacation, there always seems to be a reason for some type of road trip!

 

As I was sitting in the car in traffic the other day, coming back from a road trip, it got me thinking. With more and more people on the road these days, what would be some of the things that are needed for a road trip, no matter the number of miles (we always remember to bring water and a few snacks because I don’t think there is ever a time that we don’t get stuck in traffic!).

 

Summer Road Trips

 

In a summer travel survey conducted by thevacationer.com, one of the questions that was asked was, “Will you take a road trip this summer?“

 

Let’s take a look at the results of that survey question:

 

No — 21.34%
Yes, within 100 miles of my home — 16.52%
Yes, within 250 miles of my home — 23.40%
Yes, within 500 miles of my home — 20.45%
Yes, within 1,000 miles of my home — 11.21%
Yes, more than 1,000 miles from my home — 7.08%

 

The survey also revealed that women were more likely than men to have intentions of doing a road trip this summer. 80.15% of women said they would do a road trip this summer and 76.92% of men said they intended to do so. Those over age 60 were the least likely to take a road trip this summer.
