lantic-erossing Americans to buy
lit out completely.
| What they fail to realize is
THAT Europeans do most of theil
Iwanderings in summer, too, and
travellers from the United State:
represent only a small segment
in the competition for hotel
space.
Europeans are more likely tc
know, too, which cities are
crowded. and when, with the
celebration of festival, a fan
or an international convention,
With that knowledge as a FORE
warning they can avoid the city
or meet it head on with reserva-
tons dating back several months.
The American do-it-yourselfer
can be caught in an awkward
surprise. If he insists on going
it alone and not letting George
the-Travel Agent do it, prudent
planning suggests that he write
the European Travel Com
missions New York Office for its
booklet, Major Events in
Europe; better yet to the tour
ism Office maintained by these
countries in the United States.
Travel agents even now are
steering their clients away from
London at the time of the Ameri-
can Bar Associations late July
convention and from Lucerne,
Switzerland, where Rotary In
ternational will convene in May.
Ship Space Problem
Room and board in summer
time Europe, however, is a
secondary problem to the feat
lof booking suitable space on
ships after a tardy start. The
price one is willing to pay is
sometimes a deciding factor. The
more he can afford for steam
ship passage. the closer he can
come to peak season dates.
Steamship companies operat-
ing over the North Atlantic rec
ognize two peaks, eastbound and
westbound. The absolute peak
to Europe is. roughly. June Is to
July Is. The overall peak lasts
from about June l to August l.
