Travelers will stay close to home in 2008
Travelers will stay close to home in 2008
Record-high air travel, record lows for the US dollar, even higher gas prices and new passport rules were prominent in travel in '07.
Experts are now saying that Americans might make shorter trip destinations or choose vacation spots closer to home where the dollar is more worthwhile.
A slowdown in the economy slows travel only slightly. However the amount of time spent on vacation and in hotels is hit much harder.
Popular international destinations for 2008 are Portugal, Central America, Beijing, Italy and Eastern Europe. Domestic travel could definitely benefit from the weakness of the dollar. Experts way we will see an increase in domestic travel that will include more visits to national parks, Hawaii, and to places with exceptionally good deals.
