 But can this be sustained? In April, 38% of Americans surveyed said they were willing to go into debt to support their travel. And then the bills came due. And at the same time, many banks are now reporting credit card delinquencies are on the rise. In the short term, airfares and many hotel room rates are now starting to come down, beginning in August. And they may stay down throughout the end of this year. So if you can pay your credit card balances in full, it might be a very good time to strategize for some more affordable travel.
