A Promising Year Ahead
For the American Tourist
GET UP AND GO!

the development of three major
trends--the tendency Of the
growing army OF travellers to
spend less individually. the
headlong rush by the travel
industry to lure the tourist "off
the beaten track" and an In.
creased interest In "off season
vacations.
Although the number Of
Americans travelling overseas
in 1850 went up Is per cent,
the total spending rose only IL
per cent. At home. Americans
were more and more turning to
the relatively Inexpensive
camping vacation.
But the total amount spent
on travel continued to rise
along with the growing popu-
lation. increasing personal in
come. and longer vacations.
The decision to push of the
beaten track and off-season
vacations was born of necessity.
Too many people were arriving
to I'LL too few hotel rooms dur
ing the high season.
