Travel a Good Investment for All Ages
Babson argues foreign travel remains a bargain as 1962 trips cost Americans about 2.9 billion dollars with a 10 rise from 1961 and early 1963 figures show continued curiosity. He notes jet travel cuts vacation time, offers family packages, and highlights Europe and the Mediterranean as top destinations, with West Indies trips rising. He advises using local travel agencies and frames travel as a gift.
