Economic uncertainties may result in some Americans scaling back vacation plans, according to a survey. The poll found that 55% of respondents would “cut back on discretionary expenses like

eating out and vacations,” according to the GfK Roper Reports’ random telephone survey of 1,005 adults conducted Feb. 1 to 3. The survey also found that consumer confidence was extremely

in this periodic survey since September 2001. MORE TO READ
