Presentation: Making Sense of Mixed Signals: Key U.S. Traveler Insights (SPONSORED: Tealeaf)

Summary

From a housing market on the rebound to solid stock indexes and sustained growth in retail sales, the U.S. economy is showing signs of recovery. But as the budget and deficit debates rage on and memories of the recession years linger, many Americans continue to struggle with leisure travel decisions.
