Even if Americans are planning to hit the road for the Labor Day weekend, far fewer of them are planning to stay at a hotel than they were a year ago. According to the American Hotel and Lodging Association, hotel bookings for the period are down 65% from what they were in 2019. As of Aug. 21, only 14% of hotel rooms were booked for the Labor Day holiday itself, compared to 41% last year, according to Amadeus Demand, which makes software for hotel reservation sales and tracking.
