美国一家旅游集团表示，随着全球经济危机后消费情绪的增长，今年感恩节假期期间出行的人将比去年增加1.4％。虽然目前还有很多美国人处于失业状态或者承受着其它经济压力，但是这种预期的出行增长预示着经济形势正在趋于平稳。调查显示，今年感恩节长周末期间，约有3840万美国人出行到离家50英里外的地方度假，而其中有80％的人打算驾车出行，比去年增加了2.1％。与此同时，由于航空出行费用的上涨及其有限的载客量，今年搭乘飞机出行的人数比去年减少了6.7％。

Americans will travel 1.4 percent more this Thanksgiving holiday weekend compared to last year as consumer sentiment improves after the global economic crisis, travel and auto group AAA said Wednesday.

"Although far too many Americans remain unemployed or under other financial stress, AAA's projected increase in Thanksgiving travel from one year ago is another hopeful sign that economic conditions are stabilizing and improving in some areas," AAA's director of Travel Services, Glen MacDonell, said in a statement.

Some 38.4 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more away from home over the holiday weekend. Eighty-six percent of Thanksgiving travelers-- 33.2 million Americans-- will travel by car, a 2.1 percent increase from last year.

The bump in Thanksgiving auto travel is a continuation of a gradual recovery in the U.S. travel industry since the start of the summer, MacDonell said.

However, a combination of higher fares and lower airline capacity will result in a 6.7 percent decrease in air travel, AAA said. About 6 percent of Americans plan to travel by air, according to AAA.

Americans traveling by other means of transportation, including trains and buses, will increase 1.2 percent, AAA said.

Last year, Thanksgiving travel in the world's top oil consumer plummeted 25.2 percent due to the housing and financial crisis.
