Holiday Trends

The airlines’ decision to cut back on seats and flights this holiday season may be justified after all. According to a recent Yahoo! survey:

  • 60 percent of those surveyed said they will not be spending money on personal travel or vacations
  • 13 percent are spending less money on personal travel and vacation than last year
  • 21 percent are spending about the same amount of money on personal travel and vacation than last year
  • Six percent are spending more on personal travel and vacations than last year

It is interesting to note that most of these are in the USA or Mexico. It would appear that the Amateur Traveleris only missing an episode on Miami. Who is a travel expert on Miami?

Apparently most of the people voting have never been to Paris or it would not be ranked #10. :-)
