As the price of gas continues to rise, families are reconsidering travel plans.
Across the country, students and families are preparing for spring break season to begin. Over the past two years,Many people and businesses were likely hoping to see a return to normal this year, but rising gas prices might bring about new problems.According to the AAA, the national average for gas prices is $4.33. In Florida, a popular destination for vacationers, gas prices are slightly higher than the average at $4.37.
Families in Florida are reconsidering vacation plans, News4Jax reports. According to residents who spoke with the outlet, the cost of gas has forced them to reconsider traveling for spring break and many are either planning on just staying home.One respondent said, "Absolutely. We had plans for the beach and the springs. But with prices being so high we will just go to the springs once maybe and stay home the rest of the time.
Travis Johnson, a hotel manager at TradeWinds Island Resorts in Florida's St. Pete Beach, told ABC Action News that he thinks the resort's all-inclusive nature will help attract visitors, even if they're from a smaller radius."I mean, the local market is always important to us, and I think if gas prices continue the way that we’re seeing the trend, I think that will, you know, definitely increase," Johnson told the outlet.
"We have a radius here that’s not that far to drive to, and you know, folks can come and jump in the car, couple hours, not spend too much on gas, and not have to leave the property when they get here, so we’re fortunate in that regard."
