--. April 23, 1927 WINNETKA T ALK 40,000,000 People to Tour Country on Vacation This Y ear The magnitude of the motor tourist movement in the United States and the record figures it is expected to reach in 1927 are shown in a report received by the Chicago Motor club from the Ameican Automobile associ- ation which estimates that: Forty million people will spend their vacations on the open road this year, This great migration of nearly a third of the nation seeking health and happiness will move in 10,000,000 motor cars. Approximately $3,300,000,000 will be spent during this great flow and coun- ter-flow of humanity. The figures represent an estimate that the 1927 touring season will show an increase of ten per cent over last vear. This estimate is based on re- ports from touring bureaus of the 862 American Automobile association af- filiated clubs throughout the nation. The report of the American Automo- bile association to the Chicago Motor club says: "Of the ten million automobiles that will go touring this season, a third will carry camping equipment and be used for outings of a month's average. Two-thirds of the caravan will remain en tour about ten days but will depend on hotels for accommodations. It was calculated that the camping brigade would spend about $1,000,000,000 or $10 per day per car, and that the parties frequenting hotels will spend three time as much per day, which wouid bring their total to approximately $2,200,000,000. These figures are re- garded as conservative, and the total expenditure may run as high as three and a half billions."
