The Down Side Of High Gas Prices On Travel

As the price of gas continues to climb, less and less people travel. Robert Sinclair Jr., a spokesman for the AAA in New York said, "If a trend toward higher gas prices and fewer travelers were to continue, it could eventually impact travel-dependent companies that provide employment opportunities and tax revenues in almost every city and town in America… [However,] Americans consider their vacations sacrosanct… People are being more discreet. They still want to take their holiday, but they're planning more carefully."
