Owing to the rising air travel fares, the number of passengers on North Carolina sector is diminishing which were to commute by air travel more than 50 miles from their native places on the arriving holiday weekend. This is suggested by the AAA Carolinas which is a nonprofit membership group for drivers and other travelers and they base their claim on a study on air travel.
The group declared that it expects 37,300 state residents to take air travel this weekend, which is down by 9 percent from the 41,000 it had forecasted before Labor Day weekend last year.
AAA Carolinas stated slow job growth, reincarnated financial incertitude and across-the-board air travel fare hikes are holding people around the nation closer to home, and thus declining the number of passengers taking air travel.
Compared to air travel, car travel stays an inexpensive alternative and the effects of Hurricane Irene have been more minor than what most North Carolinians had feared. Most of North Carolina's coastal cities and beaches will be open for business this weekend.

The Conde Nast Traveler magazine recently featured a pullout guide section that featured highlights of many popular Florida travels and destinations.

There were sections on South Beach, The Gulf Coast, the Panhandle, Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando, Key West, the Everglades, and Palm Beach/West Palm Beach. The latter section was subtitled "Battle of the Beaches", and it was an interesting title for West Palm Beach because there is actually no beach there, although it is located in an area called Riviera Beach. The magazine did mention this fact, noting that the only beach in West Palm Beach are small man-made ones at Peanut Island Park. The park was the site of an nuclear bunker built for John F. Kennedy, and features crystal-clear emerald water that is home to grunts, spotted eagle rays, and manatees from November through march.
