Question of the Week: Guilty Travel Pleasures/Silly Travel Secrets (5/18/2001)

Real Audio Listen with RealAudio          help Need audio help?

What do you do on the road that you don't do at home? You probably eat out more. You go to more museums ... Maybe you're more outgoing: you start conversations with strangers, you talk about more things than ... just the weather. But, there is another class of things we do while away from friends, away from anyone who knows us. It's not always things we're proud of.

Next Week: See America

The United States is taking a beating. We've fallen to the number three tourist destination...behind Spain...and France. This week travel executives met with White House officials to establish a Presidential tourism council, hoping to boost our image abroad, and get people to come and visit.

What we wanna know is, how would you get the buzz going? I want you to tell me the slogan that will make the U.S. the world's must see travel destination. Our new national motto: "The US: We're not France" ...or, "America: Come see us or we'll come see you." You see where I'm going with this. Your country needs you; we need you.

Call or email us and share your story. The number is 888-SAV-TRAV. That's 888-728-8728.
