Summer bookings and visitor numbers continue to be in the red for mountain resorts, but several trends are emerging. Transportation prices remain low, and consumers are paying less to travel, with “closecation” becoming the norm, that is, people are traveling, but staying within one full gas tank drive from home. Individual family vacations and reunions continue to hold relatively strong, while group/conference and luxury travel are the weakest.
