Yes We Can... Travel
The Travel Geography blog has a list of stories on how the Obama election is impacting tourism. Like this:From the Telegraph: 80 per cent of readers are more likely to visit the US now than they were before the presidential election. Until now many Telegraph readers have said they have been put off the US by its draconian border security arrangements and the foreign policy decisions made by George Bush.
It will be interesting for sure to see how the economic crisis will intersect with the political enthusiasm going into the Obama presidency.
Or the Wall Street Journal: Despite some rates surpassing the $1,000 per night mark, rooms are also booking, on average, three times faster than for the last inauguration, according to the travel Web site Expedia.com. Many hotels have imposed two- and three-night minimum stays.
