Train Travel is the Perfect Family Getaway This Winter
Friday, August 4th, 2006 |In an era when gas prices are at record levels and the cost of an airline ticket buys you a bag of peanuts and little else, it’s difficult to imagine taking any kind of family vacation.
Yet according to the Travel Experts Survey conducted at MLT University, the nation’s largest travel agent education event, more than 750 travel professionals indicate a renewed interest in family travel this year. Agents predict that this trend is likely to continue throughout the holidays and the new year.
This December, no vacation kindles family togetherness more than a scenic rail journey through glacier-capped mountains and snow-filled valleys aptly labeled the “Land of a Million Christmas Trees.”
