Thanksgiving just knocking on the door, the United States is likely to witness more than 55 million travelers and the travel sector making a good business, a forecast by AAA reveals. According to Senior Vice President of AAA Travel, Paula Twidale, they are expecting a large number of travelers who would be gathering to meet their close families and loved ones and every year, travel has been becoming stronger. Paula Twidale said that compared to last year (2022), this year they are expecting the airports, roads, and sea ports to be busy with heavy footfall. However, AAA predicts that this year, most of the travelers will take the road and travel by car which is good news as they hope that the prices will be less compared to last year.

However, after the Thanksgiving holiday on November 26 or 27, people will be returning and so a large crowd is again expected at the airports.

sports bodies want urgent talks with the IOC about the risk of cuts in their revenue shares and medal events at the 2028 Los Angeles Games because cricket and other newcomers were added to the program. The International Olympic Committee last month approved cricket, baseball/softball, flag football, lacrosse and squash for 2028 and kept boxing, modern pentathlon and weightlifting — three sports whose status had been in doubt. The umbrella group of current Summer Games sports, known by the acronym ASOIF, said Monday the decision to increase to a record 36 sports «has raised several questions» among its members, who collectively shared $540 million of IOC-allocated money at each of the past two Olympics. Most Olympic sports got between $13 million and $17.3 million from the pandemic-delayed Tokyo Games in 2021. For some, that was about half their total income over four years. Adding four team sports in 2028 also is set to break the IOC's preferred limit of 10,500 athletes at a Summer Games and likely will put pressure on the core Olympic sports to cut their quotas of athletes or even medal events.
