Best way to conserve fuel: group travel
Group travel is the best form of fuel conservation for travelers, says the National Tour Association (NTA).
Said NTA president Hank Phillips:
“While the National Tour Association believes that our industry must do its part to assist in energy conservation, it’s equally important to continue encouraging Americans to invest in travel and tourism.”
The Bush administration has been discouraging non-essential travel.
“While NTA recognizes the importance of fuel conservation, without strong group tours continuing to the hurricane-affected states, the region could have a second significant economic hit,” said NTA.
The travel industry in the affected areas of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama accounts for $18.3 billion in travel-related business, says the Travel Industry Association of America.
