I think the important numbers would be how this compares to last year or the last five years. And while I agree most Americans don’t take enough or long vacations ,I do think the travel industry in the US is doing better. The airlines have record profits and I know some states like Florida are showing record visitors the last few years including domestic travelers. I haven’t seen the summer numbers yet, but as of June Florida’s on pace for another record year.
