But are we traveling with the kids? Here’s how the down economy is changing the way we travel.SECONDARY CITIESSome smaller cities are stealing the glory. Fort Myers, Fla. experienced double digit (位數(shù)) growth in January 2009 over January 2008, based on American Express Travel bookings. Cities like Portland, Ore. are also being popular destinations, with Travelocity data showing an increase of 38% over last year. Even Philadelphia’s star is rising, said Travelocity senior editor Shaw Brown.Brown said it’s hard to explain exactly the reason for the boom: it could be a decrease in airfare or hotel prices or excellent marketing. Hotel rates in Fort Myers are down about 10%. But hotel rates in Portland are up, she said. She thinks Philadelphia’s higher popularity is due to good marketing, a decrease in airfare of 16% pared to the overall 8% decrease for domestic flights and more interest in historic destinations in general.FAMILY TRAVELRather than take a twoweek vacation to Europe, families are going to national parks.David Mandt, spokesman for the Association of Amusement Parks, is cautiously optimistic about the summer season. He said even when gas was $4 a gallon in 2008, people continued to visit theme parks—they simply selected parks closer to their homes. While for years, park operators have used special offers, promotions and discounts to encourage families to visit at a specific time, the deals may be easier to find this year, especially when it es to packages that include acmodations.
