One impact on soaring gas prices: 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.
