We're starting to see signs of a more cautious consumer when it comes to travel. I don't expect Americans to stop traveling. I simply think they will be more careful when it comes to making travel decisions.
Only a small minority of U.S. adult travelers is actually planning to cut back on travel this summer.
Americans like to travel in their own country, and there is much to do here. We're like a country of countries. We don't need to go anywhere,
They feel good and they know something about what you enjoy. They have the inside scoop.
It makes it very special and just adds to the excitement of the year. There are a lot of advantages for me right now. Having the family, having this job, I'm just really thrilled with all of it.
These tendencies, ... may be further exacerbated by additional pressures on pricing created by the recent hurricanes in the Gulf area.
The issue is not whether Americans will be traveling for pleasure this summer -- because we think they will. The issue is really how they will travel, where they will go and what will they do when they get there.
For the first time in years, the summer travel season will start off with a bang and we expect it to stay strong through August.
