Frommer's Arizona Boycott Can't Keep This State Down
Despite Arthur Frommer’s feelings about the Grand Canyon State, people seem to be ready to head out to Phoenix this fall. It is possible that his opinion might not have made it through to everyone yet, or it’s possible that nobody cares what Frommer thinks. Even though things are slow due to the economy, the Valley of the Sun appears to keep drawing the crowds into town.
According to the 2009 Travel Leaders Fall Travel Trends Survey—catchy name—the Phoenix and Scottsdale area sits just outside the top ten at number 11 among destinations booked throughout the rest of the year. People must want to avoid the cool crisp days of autumn at any cost. About 75 percent of those asked said that trips were down compared to last year overall, and about 60 percent said they had a good feeling about the strength of the fall travel season. Let's just hope the travel season isn't too strong, we're getting used to all the great deals.
If you’re headed out of town this fall you might want to actually avoid Las Vegas or Orlando if you need some peace and quiet, as these two cities are the top destinations. However, we’re thinking that there are more interesting domestic travel choices for the fall rather than the usual suspects. So let us know where your fall travel plans are going to take you, even if it’s just to the state fair down the road.
