"It's going to be a record travel season," says Jason Ader, a senior analyst with in vestment bank Bear, Stearns & Co. "The economy's strong. Consumers feel good. The stock market's up. And the prices we're seeing are as high as they've been since we've been keeping records, and that's since the fifties."
In all, American vacationers will take more than 270 million trips this summer -- 4 percent more than last year, according to the travel association. The top 10 destinations are Florida, California, Hawaii, Colorado, New York, Texas, Nevada, Arizona, Washington state and Washington.
During such trips, a family of four will spend $ 213 a day for meals and lodging -- an increase of $ 3 from last year, according to a forecast released by the Travel Industry Association of America. In some cases, price increases are expected to double the inflation rate, which was 2.1 percent in March. The average daily price tag on a hotel room will increase 3.9 percent to $ 81.77 from $ 78.67, according to a report by Price Waterhouse Coopers and Bear, Stearns.
Traveling by car this summer is expected to cost about $10.66 per 100 miles, which covers gas, tires and maintenance, according to the American Automobile Association. The recent increase in gasoline prices should make long road trips more expensive. Nevertheless, car-rental companies are expecting more leisure rentals this summer compared with last and are pushing prices up accordingly.
Tickets on the major North American airlines will continue to increase, with prices jumping 10 percent by year's end, ac. cording to the Price Waterhouse Coopers' report. But the higher prices are not turning vacationers away from air travel. "Given the strong economy, and if all other factors are constant, travelers will most likely take to the domestic skies in record numbers despite higher costs to the wallet," says Dexter Wood, a Price Waterhouse Coopers consultant.
One reason Americans are more likely to travel this year is that.
A.airlines tickets are less expensive
B.more and more Americans have cars
C.the stock market is up
D.travel agents are offering special deals

Brain-dead Mother Dies after Giving Birth
A brain-dead woman who was kept alive for three months so she could deliver the child she was carrying was removed from life support on Wednesday and died, a day after giving birth.
"This is obviously a bittersweet time for our family," Justin Torres, the woman"s brother-in-law, said in a statement.
Susan Tortes, a cancer-stricken, 26-year-old researcher at the National Institutes of Health, suffered a stroke in May after the melanoma (黑瘤 ) spread to her brain.
Her family decided to keep her alive to give her foetus (胎儿) a chance. It became a race between the foetus" development and the cancer that was destroying the woman"s body.
Doctors said that Torres" health was getting worse and that the risk of harm to the foetus finally outweighed the benefits of extending the pregnancy.
Torres gave birth to a daughter by Caesarean section (剖腹产手术) on Tuesday at Virginia Hospital Center. The baby was two months premature and weighed about a kilogram. She was in the newborn intensive care unit.
Dr Donna Tilden-Archer, the hospital"s director of neonatology (新生儿学) , described the child as "very vigorous." She said the baby had responded when she received stimulation,indicating she was healthy.
Doctors removed Torres from life support early Wednesday with the consent of her husband,Jason Tortes, after she received the final sacrament (圣礼) of the Roman Catholic Church.
"We thank all of those who prayed and provided support for Susan, the baby and our family,"Jason Torres said in a statement. "We especially thank God for giving us little Susan. My wife"s courage will never be forgotten."
English-language medical literature contains at least 11 cases since 1979 of irreversibly brain-damaged women whose lives were prolonged for the benefit of the developing foetus,according to the University of Connecticut Health Center.
Dr Christopher McManus, who coordinated care l"or Susan Torres, put the infant"s chances of developing cancer at less than 25 per cent. He said 19 women who have had the same aggressive form. of melanoma as Tortes have given birth, and five of their babies became ill with the disease.
