Naked tourism putting on some clothes

Sunday, 18 May, 2005 0

The type of bare-bones ambiance at typical US camps is getting dressed up these days.

Much of the industry has substituted the word “resort” for “camp” says USAToday.

“Resorts have come from being five miles down a dirt road behind a junkyard fence to really upscale resorts” said Nancy Tierman, owner of Bare Necessities, a Texas-based travel agency.

New, upscale features include clubhouses with spas, nude cruises and upper scale resorts.

Nude recreation grew strongly in the 1990s and is now a $400 million industry, according to the American Association for Nude Recreation.
