Checking In - A Growth Industry

While the economy in general is still sputtering along—slow and steady wins the race, we hope!—the travel industry has been enjoying record growth.

Our News Trends story details recent statistics reported by the U.S. Travel Association, indicating that leisure travel went on a record-setting tear this year, and is expecting a 1 percent rise in 2013 over the healthy 2012 clip.

If—and this is a big if—the government can get it together to avoid the dreaded “fiscal cliff,” business and meetings travel could end up posting some good numbers as well over the next 12 months.

Thanks for reading our magazines, attending our webinars and live events, and accessing our online content this year, and stay tuned for some big things we’re cookin’ up for 2013!
