And there’s even more good news ahead. Fifteen percent (15%) of US Citizens plan to even travel more than they have in the past. This is because there are so many special offers being made on travel and vacation accommodations. In addition, the gas prices are lower than they were last summer. We can hardly forget last summer. As it finally became apparent to most of us that, yeah we’re in a big economic mess, gas prices hit us between the eyes at $4 or more per gallon. That’s when most Americans that normally took scheduled Summer Vacations put on the breaks or simply vacationed closer to their own homes.

In the national survey only 35% of those who answered the pole said there would be reconsidering plans for vacation this year.

Said Mr. Jeffrey Hallo or the Clemson University Parks, Recreation, and Tourism Management Department, “People told us that they would sacrifice other luxuries rather than give up their travel plans.”

With unemployment at an all time high and baby boomers being the highest age group to start home businesses, the travel industry is ripe and ready. If you’re considering a home business, travel is one you can do without any sales experience or intimidation that you may not know much about the industry. I’ve helped many mothers (dads too!) who have left the work force, either by choice or by pink slip, get financial recovery in the travel industry. It’s fun and rewarding and as you read above, the industry is not seeing the downturns most other industries are.

Here are 5 tips to make sure you arrive at your destination ready to see the world.

1. Make a list of everything you will be taking with you. Some things that are commonly forgotten are cell chargers, camera, batteries, sun screen. As you are packing the items from your list, make a check next to everything as it goes in the bags.

Second verse same as the first. Have you ever gotten home from your trip and realized your blow dryer is not in the bag? It seems we are worse at leaving things on the return trip than at leaving them out on the initial trip. Just like you did the first time, Check everything off as it goes into the suitcase and/or car.

2. Map out the trip with a highlighter.

3. Let someone know where you’re going. Make sure they know the name and whereabouts of the place you’re going to be staying and that they have your cell phone numbers.

4. Make sure your money is safe. Separate your money in 2-3 places. This way, if something gets stolen or lost, you can still proceed with your vacation and it will ensure that you won’t be washing dishes at the local diner in order to eat.

5. Check your tires for leaks. Make sure that break pads are working properly and you have the right amount of liquids in the right places in your automobile.

Have a great vacation!
