What’s “in” for spring break this year? Some U.S. spots are luring more of the party-hearty, based on bookings with a top travel agency.
Cancun, Mexico, remains the most-booked destination, Miami moved from No. 7 to No. 3 this year, and Las Vegas held on to the No. 10 slot that it hit last year, said Patrick Evans, Dallas-based spokesman for STA Travel, which bills itself as the world’s largest student travel agency.
Of course, some things haven’t changed. Sun, fun and beaches rule, and tough times aren’t spoiling the festivities, Evans said.
“Despite the economic situation, spring break is still pretty strong because it’s the iconic thing students know they’ll do each year,” Evans said in an interview “It’s the one area of travel that we haven’t really seen take a hit due to the economy.”. . .
