More Seniors Choose to Discover America’s Backyard with YMT Vacations in 2012
Leader in Affordable Vacations for Mature Travelers Reports Increased Demand for Domestic Travel This Summer
EL SEGUNDO, CA –YMT Vacations, the leading provider of affordable group travel packages, is pleased to report strong growth in domestic travel for U.S. destinations this summer. Several of YMT’s U.S. itineraries are ahead by more than 70 percent as more Americans choose to vacation closer to home during 2012.
One of the more popular destinations for senior travelers is Hawaii as YMT’s bookings have more than doubled for the summer season. In addition, overall summer bookings are up nearly 20 percent over the same period a year ago, and have increased nearly 40 percent during the past month.
“We have seen the interest in traveling close to home continue to rise,” stated Jerre Fuqua, President of YMT Vacations. “America is a vast and beautiful country with many opportunities for exploration. In addition, I believe that more travelers are opting to tour Hawaii and the U.S. mainland as it represents great value and easy access for our guests, especially as international airfares continue to rise.”
