More Families Traveling Less Due to Economy

by Tribune2

Because of the recent sluggishness in the world's economies, many
people are avoiding holiday trips. For example, a recent survey
showed that one in three British citizens are avoiding foreign
travel as a way to save money. Also, many travelers are avoiding
travel insurance, and at least two-thirds of vacationers are
hoping to use their savings to fund trips instead of using
credit.

Cost cutting is taking other forms, as well. Many are opting for
do-it-yourself home repairs in order to save on labor costs. More
and more British citizens are spending time at home as a bulwark
against unstable financial forces. North Scotland is experiencing
the largest impact as 89 percent of households are altering their
routines in order to save money.

Unfortunately, this change in holiday travelers' habits will
have an effect on many of the top tourism destinations. While the
wealthy class will keep traveling and spending, the average
citizen won't be able to go abroad for vacations. Elite vacation
spots will retain their status but less glamorous destinations
will feel the impact of less tourism revenue.

In particular, Gran Canaria, one of the Canary Islands, will
likely experience a significant drop in its tourism industry.
While Gran Canaria has its share of wealthy travelers, most of
the visitors to the island come from a more modest background.
Affordable food and accommodations made it enticing for the
average British family to travel to the island in years past.
This year, saving money by staying home is a more attractive
option for many Britons.

Gran Canaria is often called a 'mini-continent' because of its
diverse climatology. The climate varies so much from area to area
that the island seems much larger than it actually is. Many
holiday goers love this unique property of Gran Canaria. There
are 32 natural protected spaces on the island. In such places,
nature takes a front seat to mankind's encroachment.

One of the most popular natural destinations of Gran Canaria is
a wild bird refuge called Palmitos Park. The aviary and botanical
garden give visitors a great view of the natural landscape of
Gran Canaria. Situated in the countryside within the mountains,
Palmitos Park also contains an amphitheater where shows featuring
wild birds of prey are performed for the public. This
amphitheater is incorporated into the natural surroundings so as
not to disturb the feel of the park.

Playa de Ingles is another popular destination for tourists.
Build around the Yumbo Centrum shopping center, this area
contains a great set of dance clubs for those seeking some
nightlife. Playa de Ingles also has a fabulous beach, lagoon and
lighthouse that are ideal for sightseers and beachgoers.

With travel expenses increasing exponentially, many people from
all over the world will avoid lavish travel and distant holiday
destinations like Gran Canaria. The economic downturn is likely
temporary, but it will negatively impact the tourism industry of
Gran Canaria in coming months. Hopefully, in a short time,
economic woes will ease and the average vacationer will be able
to relax on a beach in the Canary Islands once again.
