The naked truth about nude resorts
The recent “Nude Recreation Week” was another reminder that this business has grown to a $400 million industry in little more than a decade.
There are now 260 clothing-optional resorts, according to a recent report by ABC News.
They have also gone upscale. Some $400 to $600-a-night accommodations are not uncommon in places such as Riviera Maya, Mexico, which features “Swim-up Suites.”
Perhaps surprisingly, most nude resorts cater to families. And more than 80% of the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) are 35 years or older.
The AANR says it has more than 50,000 dues-paying members. What’s behind the popularity?
“I think Americans are waking up to the peace and serenity that comes with taking off your clothing. For one thing, nobody has a pocket for a cell phone or beeper,” said Carolyn Hawkins, a spokesperson for the organization.
