SAFETY EXPERT TROOPER STEVE, THIS IS NEWS 6 AT 09:00AM. GETTING RESULTS.
>> JULIE: THANKSGIVING. IS THIS
COMING THURSDAY. WHAT USUALLY
MEANS LONG LINES AND CROWDED
AIRPORTS AND TRAFFIC JAMS ON
THE
NATION’S HIGHWAYS. WELL,
PROBABLY NOT BE LIKE THAT THIS
YEAR. OF COURSE, CDC GUIDELINES
RECOMMEND NOT TRAVELING FOR
THANKSGIVING. SO NOW MAY BE THE
BEST TIME TO THINK ABOUT WHERE
YOU’D LIKE TO GO, MAYBE IN THE
NEW YEAR. AND I RECENTLY CAUGHT
UP WITH TRAVEL EXPERT JANINE TO
AN ATTORNEY OR A ABOUT THE
TYPES OF TRAVEL THAT’S TRENDING
FOR THE WINTER SEASON.
>> WHAT CAN TRAVELERS EXPECT?
>> WELL, LOOK, I THINK
TRAVELERS CAN EXPECT THAT
YOU’RE NOT GOING TO SEE
THE DEMAND AT THE AIRPORT OR ON
THE ROADS THAT WE TYPICALLY SEE
THIS TIME OF GIVEN SO MANY OF
THE LOCAL RESTRICTIONS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS. I THINK KNOW
THANKSGIVING MAYBE THE WEEKEND.
THIS YEAR. PEOPLE ARE STAYING
AT HOME AND TALKING ABOUT WE
REALLY WANT TO GO IN A COUPLE
OF MONTHS WHEN THINGS GET
INTERESTING THAT WE’RE SEEING
THIS LETTER IS WHEN IT COMES
TO GETTING OUT AND GOING TO
DIFFERENT DESTINATIONS. WE ARE
STILL SEEING DEMAND OVER THIS
WINTER HOLIDAY SEASON FOR THE
TYPICAL ITS SKI DESTINATIONS
AND WARM WEATHER LOT OF WHAT
THESE DESTINATIONS ARE REALLY
TALKING AT THIS IS SAFETY.
THEY’RE REALLY ALL ABOUT
EDUCATING PEOPLE ABOUT HOW TO
SAFELY AND WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN
YOU GET THERE. SO WE LOOK AT
SKI DESTINATIONS OF A GOOD
EXAMPLE OF BRECKENRIDGE, ARE
ONE OF THE TOP OF THE YOU KNOW,
THEY HAVE MANDATED MASKS OWNS
IN THEIR DOWNTOWN BOTH INDOORS
AND OUTDOORS. YOU KNOW, WHEN
YOU GO TO ANY SKI DESTINATION
ARE GOING TO BE PUTTING ON
MASKS AND THE LIST LINES ON THE
SKI LIFTS WE START SEEING
THINGS LIKE BRECKENRIDGE HAS
ITS SPENT BEFORE SENSE KNOWING
IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS EXPANDED
THEIR TERRAIN. SO PEOPLE HAVE
MORE TRAILS TO GO SNOWSHOEING
AND THAT TIRE BIKING OR
SLEDDING HILL. SO REALLY THESE
WINTER DESTINATIONS KNOW THAT
PEOPLE ARE COMING THERE TO BE
OUTDOORS AND THEY’RE TRYING
TO MAKE THEM FEEL SAFE ABOUT
THAT. YOU KNOW, I TALK TO FOLKS
IN FLORIDA I FEEL LIKE IN
FLORIDA. YOU’RE LOOKING TO GO
SOMEWHERE ELSE BECAUSE EVERYONE
IS COMING TO YOU KNOW, SO
REALLY THIS YEAR I’VE BEEN
TELLING FOLKS LIKE CONTRARY.
AND YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE COMING
TO THE BEACH DESTINATIONS THAT
THEME PARK DESTINATIONS HEAD TO
THE PLACES LIKE SCOTTSDALE,
ARIZONA, THIS IS ACTUALLY WHAT
THEY CALL THEIR SECRET SEASON
BECAUSE OCCUPANCY RATES ARE
DOWN. YOU KNOW, IT’S MUCH
QUIETER THERE. YOU KNOW, WE’VE
ALSO NOTICED THE TRENDS OF
PEOPLE BOOKING.
>> YOU KNOW, 2, 3 MONTHS IN
ADVANCE LIKE THOSE THOSE DAYS
SEEM TO BE GONE
FOR NOW.
>> WELL, I THINK IN, YOU KNOW,
THE NEAR FUTURE. A LOT OF
PEOPLE ARE THINKING I’LL JUST
PLAN A LITTLE BIT MORE LAST
WHICH IS FINE TO DO. BUT OVER
THIS HOLIDAY BECAUSE THERE IS
REDUCED CAPACITY AIRLINES SAY,
YOU KNOW, CUT OUT, YOU KNOW,
PLANES ON A LOT
OF ROUTES GOING LAST MINUTE.
IF YOU’RE GOING TO SLIDE, YOU
STILL NOT GOING TO BE MAYBE GET
GREAT DEALS DURING THIS TIME
PLANNING IN ADVANCE IS STILL
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING PEOPLE
CAN DO RIGHT NOW WHAT CAN
PEOPLE EXPECT ON THE ROADS.
YEAH. IT’S A LOT OF THE SAME
MONITOR THAT WE HAVE THIS
SUMMER TO ABOUT BEING A
SELF-CONTAINED AS POSSIBLE,
WHICH IS WHY WE’RE STILL SEEING
AN UPTICK IN OUR KEY TRAVEL
BECAUSE PEOPLE SAY, HEY, MY
WATCHING MY MEALS. EVERYTHING
HERE I CAN CONTROL AND THAT’S
WHAT PEOPLE ARE REALLY SICK,
NOT CONTROL. THOSE VARIABLES,
WHETHER THEY’RE GETTING ON A
PLANE OR, YOU KNOW, MORE SO
TAKING A ROAD TRIP IS THEY CAN
DO THAT.
>> BRIDGETT: AND PLANNING A
LAST MINUTE TRIP.
SOUNDS GREAT. JEANINE. STILL
ENCOURAGES PLANNING AHEAD.
SO WHAT THAT HAS MANY PLACES
WE KNOW LIKE THE
PARKS CAMPGROUNDS. THEY DO
REQUIRE THOSE RESERVATIONS IN
ADVANCE AND SOMETIMES YOU’RE
BUYING A TICKET IN MAKING A
RESERVATION TO USE AND A
TICKET. SO SHE RECOMMENDS
CHECKING THE WEBSITE, THE LOCAL
TOURISM DESTINATIONS BECAUSE
THERE ARE RESTRICTIONS
DIFFERENT RESTRICTIONS
DEPENDING ON THE PLACES YOU’RE
TALKING ABOUT VISITING. BUT I
MEAN, YOU KNOW, SHE SAID, YOU
KNOW, WE’RE HERE BY THE BEACH
MAYBE CONSIDER, YOU KNOW, GOING
WEST AND ONE OF THOSE PARKS
SOMETHING OUTDOORSY, BUT NOT
THE BEACH MAKES SENSE. I MEAN,
IN JULIE, YOU’RE YOU’RE QUITE,
YOU KNOW, FLU AND THE WHOLE RV
CAMPING. I I’VE BEEN IN OUR
VIEW ONCE. YEAH, I’M LISA
GINGER AND I WOULDN’T LAMPING A
YEAR AGO WE WERE JUST TALKING
ABOUT. THAT SEEMS LIKE SO LONG
AGO. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SO MANY
GREAT PLACES AROUND HERE.
YOU CAN GO GOING HAVE TO GO FAR
TO TAKE A LITTLE RIDE AWAY
THEIR FLORIDA SIZE. I THINK
