Hostess Gifts for Summer Vacations

Heading up to a friend’s cabin by the lake for your summer vacation? Bring a gift!

Today, more and more vacationers are staying in a home or condo than ever before. Some statistics point to at least a quarter of travelers (24%) are forgoing a traditional hotel or resort for the ease and comfort of a vacation home or condominium that they either own or will rent. Not to mention, the value Americans are looking for – 94% of leisure travelers say, “value for the price” is the primary reason for choosing vacation rental lodging. Of course, it helps if you own a vacation home, or you know someone who’s willing to let you use their place for your rest and relaxation.

Top 5 Reasons Vacationers Choose Rentals

1. Value for price

2. Privacy

3. Full kitchen facilities

4. Amenities

5. More space overall

“Togethering” Vacation Trend

Why do folks value more space and privacy for a vacation? More and more are taking trips with children, extended family and friends. Grandparents are leading this “togetherness” trend, with more than one-third of leisure travelers vacationing with their grandchildren.

Celebration Vacations

Another trend in leisure travel is the emergence of celebration vacations, with 69% of vacationers taking a trip to celebrate a special occasion. These vacations are ideal for staying in a rental, to accommodate more people than in the average traveling party.
