NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — A surge in Fourth of July travel is expected this weekend compared to last year’s slump, driven by signs of life in the economy, according to the motorist group AAA. But the impact of the Gulf oil spill on coastal tourism in the region is unclear.

AAA projects that 34.9 million Americans will travel 100 miles or more during the Independence Day weekend, a jump of 17.1% from last year’s 29.8 million travelers.
