INFOGRAPHIC on where and how people spend their vacation

I'm starting to feel a sense of normalcy returning to the economy. People are buying homes again, people are travelling (I can see it on the freeway on the weekends--lots of cars loaded up with vacation gear), and I was at the airport this past weekend, and it was packed. Sadly, one of my close friends who lives in a resort area, has left the real estate business. I tried to get him on Active Rain, where if he just wrote about his area, I think he would've done well... He never signed up. Anyway, here is an INFOGRAPHIC on where and how people travel:

Gary:  Interesting info and stats here ... and I think you're right.  If people's money is loosening up enough that they are once again traveling with more frequency ... home buying will rise too.  My wife used to do marketing for a travel agency.  One stat we always found interesting ... was the #1 activity performed during travel.  Shopping!  Now THAT will say alot about the possibilities for our housing market too, should people decide to travel more often ...

Good morning Gary -

Good post.  We are seeing an increase in visitors in the Albuquerque area and home sales have picked up and are doing much better too.  I see things getting better in all areas.  I am an optimist and rather see the glass half full unlike the news where they still see it as half empty. 

Hope you have a great day my friend.
