Gas Prices Affecting Holiday Seekers
June 12th, 2007
Amid record gas prices and a slumping housing market, 37% of Americans are not planning to vacation this summer while 35% are planing a weekend getaway.
Only 13 percent of those surveyed said they planned to travel outside the United States this summer, which is even weaker than the 15 percent of Americans who intended to travel overseas in the summer of 2002 - after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks - according to the survey.
According to another survey released this month by a Washington think tank, most U.S. workers receive an average of nine days paid vacation, but 28 million don’t receive any paid leave.
