Asian-American travel volume has grown 10 percent from 2000 to 2002, increasing from 30.0 million to 33.1 million person-trips. Leisure travel accounts for 77 percent of all travel taken by Asian-Americans, and like other U.S. travelers they visit friends and relatives most often (40%), followed by entertainment (18%) and outdoor recreation (8%). Business travel, including travel for a combination of business and pleasure purposes, accounts for one in five (21%) person-trips taken by this group. Compared to travelers overall, Asian-Americans travel to California, Nevada, and Hawaii much more often. Asian-American households spend $515 per trip, on average, excluding spending on transportation to their destination, more than the average household trip spending in the U.S. ($457). This group has a much higher tendency to include shopping as trip activity compared to total U.S. travelers (39% of person-trips vs. 34%). (Source: The Minority Traveler, 2003 Edition)
