Leave Your Wallet at Home

PANAMA CITY, Fla.-(Business Wire)-October 3, 2008 - Stressed out about the economy? In need of an affordable getaway? Choosing to book an all-inclusive vacation this fall may be the sensible solution. According to a July 2008 national survey conducted by the Travel Industry Association and Ypartnership, 82 percent of U.S. adult leisure travelers who are planning to take a leisure trip in the next six months said they would “book a packaged vacation to save money.”

“Concerned consumers are now seeking trips where food, drink, entertainment, and accommodations are included so they can stretch their dollars and maximize their experience,” said Jesse Henson, VP of Marketing for BookIt.com™ (www.BookIt.com), an online travel company. “We want to cater to today’s traveler by making all-inclusive travel bargains more readily available.”

In addition to the survey, the high demand to book a packaged vacation is almost totally due to the increased price of gasoline and the overall economic environment. Leisure travel intentions remain high regardless of the situation – 75 percent of U.S. adults say they intend to take a leisure trip in the next six months.
