Americans facing time constraints turn to family travel
Leisure travel is “imbedded” in the lives of Americans, and they will travel no matter what happens, says travel veteran Peter Yesawich.
This year was one of the best ever for leisure travel, concluded the chairman and CEO of Yesawich, Pepperdine, Brown & Russell.
He unveiled results of the ad agency’s National Leisure Travel Monitor which found that American’s focus on money-making as recently as 2000 has switched to travel becoming the No. 1 issue.
Seven out of 10 Americans said they are more introspective since 9/11, and 71% said they wish they had more time to spend with family, according to the monitor study.
Sixty-nine percent said they wish they had more time to sit and talk with their kids. And in a surprise, 48% of children said their “most awesome vacation” was when they did things with their parents that they don’t normally do, such as “sharing a meal.”
Americans in the survey reported working harder with less free time than ever before.
But there’s a flip side.
“Life is so hectic, people look to travel to fulfill their yearning to spend time with family and friends,” said Mr Yesawich.
