According to a recent article in The Daily Advance, the general consensus on the Outer Banks seems to be that bookings are up from this time last year for vacation rental homes. 

There has been a strong influx of spring vacationers to the OBX, and summer reservations continue to rise.  Last year, visitors were requesting shorter stays that usual, but in 2010 the length of stays are increasing.  Guests are planning ahead and booking further in advance to ensure that their favorite vacation home is reserved and their family can rest at ease and countdown to their Outer Banks vacation. 

We have great vacation rental homes available, and we would love to help you plan your trip to the OBX.

It might be a little early for Americans to see a complete recovery from the economic turmoil that has hit our country over the past year.  However, there are some very positive indicators which point towards economic recovery, especially in the tourism industry. 

The US Travel Association stated in a recent travel Outlook that with gasoline prices being down from last summer, and housing demand beginning to show signs of stabilization, consumers are beginning to feel more and more comfortable with traveling.  In fact, consumers are showing the most confidence that they have in eight months.  Economists warn that it will likely be another six months of economic instability, but things will begin to look up by the fourth quarter.
