More than half of Americans appear to have put off their plans for this
year's summer vacation. And many of those who do plan to take vacation, will
likely spend less money than last year.
Public Opinion polling firm StrategyOne recently surveyed more than 1,000
Americans about a range of topics and found that less than 3 in 10 Americans
(28%) plan to take a summer vacation this summer. 16% say they have not decided
whether they will take a summer vacation or not, and more than half, 56%, have
already ruled out taking a summer vacation.
"Forget the beach and the sunscreen, more than half the country is deciding
they will forego a summer vacation in 2010," saidBradley Honan, Vice President
of StrategyOne, who authored the study.
The vast majority of those who are taking a summer vacation plan to stay
within the US (76%), compared with 13% who will travel internationally. A lucky
few - 12% - plan to have summer vacations that include time off in the United
States and somewhere abroad.
One area of concern is the impact of the rising price of fuel. 3 in 4
Americans (72%) say they are concerned about gas prices this summer as it
relates to their family vacation.
With the vast majority (88%) of those who are traveling domestically for
vacation reporting they are traveling more than 100 miles away from home, fuel
prices will likely stay top of mind.
Additionally, with the troubled economy continuing to dominate Americans'
minds, travelers are undoubtedly acting more frugally this summer - nearly half
of those planning on taking a summer vacation (48%) say they are spending less
than they spent on their last vacation.
Survey Methodology:
StrategyOne conducted 1,050 online interviews among a representative sampling
of Americans between June 25 and 27, 2010. The overall margin of sampling error
at the 95% level of confidence is = +/- 3.02% overall and larger for subgroups.
Statistical weights were designed from the United States Census Bureau
statistics.
