One Company is Gearing Up for Summer on the Finger Lakes
Penn Yan, NY (May 27, 2008) – Finger Lakes Premier Properties is an organization that expects a busy summer ahead. Americans are making changes when considering their summer vacations. According to Shaun Seufert, spokesperson for AAA of Western and Central New York, "the extra pinch at the pump isn't causing families to cancel their vacations, but they're opting for destinations closer to home." When there is a slowdown in the economy, travel only slows slightly," said Douglas Shifflet of D.K. Shifflet & Associates, which tracks travel trends.
The trend towards renting a vacation home in the Finger Lakes continues to show strong growth. "The amount of time people spend on vacations is hit harder. They make tradeoffs; they stay closer to home or with friends and relatives." said Shifflet. This enables them to share the cost of a vacation.
These vacation destination shifts benefit Finger Lakes Premier Properties, a growing company that manages and sells lakefront homes on six of the Finger Lakes. “Renting a waterfront vacation home in the Finger Lakes is less expensive than a hotel.” says Lynn Thurston, President of Finger Lakes Premier Properties. “It comes complete with waterfront entertainment, a kitchen, bedrooms for everyone and easy access to wine trails, hiking and biking, boating, fishing and evening campfires.”
