Travel Outlook Positive, With Caveats

Aloha Kakou:

While this article discusses travel in the very broadest sense, it does make some points that make sense in our situation:

- people who have jobs are more confident that they will continue to keep them;
- the 1st quarter rise in the stock market is buoying traveler's confidence;
- vacation stays remain shorter, instead of 10 days, travelers now stay 7, for example;
- airfares have increased 10 to 15 percent;
- travelers are insistent upon getting the best possible deal.
