Two major trends are reshaping USA & Canadian leisure travel. First, group travel is growing dramatically faster than individual travel. More and more people realise that traveling in a group is less expensive, safer, more comfortable, more ecological, and much more fun than going it alone.

The second trend concerns the type of hotels favored by overseas tourists. At one time, trips abroad were reserved for a privileged minority who settled for nothing less than deluxe or first-class accommodations. A strong dollar helped to make this choice affordable. Today more overseas tourists travel to USA & Canada than ever, notwithstanding the fluctuations of the dollar. How is this possible? An increasing number of people agree that the sights and excitement of the USA & Canada are exactly the same whether you stay in costly deluxe and first-class hotels or in somewhat more modest and less expensive establishments.
