?It?s definitely interesting to see how travel changes from year to year. ?In the several years leading up to 2012, we saw most travelers searching by budget related keywords, sometimes sacrificing quality and multiple activities for cheaper prices ?because of the recession. ?This year, we?ve definitely seen a shift towards value driven keywords and packaging. ?People always want a good deal; however, they want to experience multiple activities while at a resort or in a resort destination. ?With so many great destinations offering deals, travelers are taking time to consider multiple options and are ultimately going with what they really want to get from their vacation rather than the cheapest option.? said Ryan Bailey, President of ResortsandLodges.com.
