How to Budget Your Trip Like a Pro
Americans are traveling more than ever before. An increase in the availability of airports and cruise ships has made it easier for people to travel. In 1980, the United States State Department issued just 4 million passports per year. Forty years later, nearly 21 million passports are issued each year. It is likely that the biggest obstacle to your next international trip is cost. The number of person-trips each year sits at 2.3 billion. Americans are spending over $1.1 trillion in the travel industry.
