Travel industry on the road again says Yesawich firm head
Marketing executives note business travel demand remains flat since last November while Vermont inns expect bookings on par with last year and campgrounds run ahead. Vermont officials cite cheaper vacations during downturns and more family travel as Americans drive rather than fly in wake of 9 11. In California, campground reservations jumped 20 percent after Sept 11 and wine country inns see rising guest numbers. New York City hotels expect only a small occupancy drop, while Orlando theme parks anticipate strong attendance. Some regions fear wildfire impacts, with Arizona and Colorado officials wary of tourist withdrawals.
