One impact on soaring gas prices appears to be that in the US, more travelers are looking to join group tours.
“Travel agencies say their group tours are filling up pretty quick,†says KHAS-TV in Hastings, Nebraska.
Group tours are becoming a trend this year as gas prices continue to soar.
The increase in gas and airline tickets has many travelers taking advantage of motor coaches, say travel observers.
â€The agencies are offering group rates that some people just cannot resist,†says KHAS.
One travel agency said business is up 10% over last year at the same time.
Several local businesses have also been using motor coaches to take customers to events and attractions.
