It didn't say the Holiday begins on approximately the date, but that the associated travel period does. Which makes perfect sense to me. It's like saying that people start traveling for Thanksgiving sometime around Tuesday morning before that date.
Anybody who is robservant enough to bentsch lulav would likely be observant enough not to travel on the holiday itself.
