Jersey Tourism Officials Are Gearing Up For The Summer Season


Memorial Day is right around the corner but some experts say many people won't be taking vacations this year because of the recession.


Jeanne De Young Tourism Representative for Monmouth County disagrees. She says we are in a tough economic time right now but people still need time away with their families.


De Young does think gas prices will impact the summer tourism season. She says the price of gas will be much lower this year and that's good news.


De Young says overall they're looking forward to a very good summer tourism season. She says people know what they have to spend and they will try to find the best deals and if they have to cut their vacation time they will but they will still take vacations.


De Young says the weather will affect the summer tourism season more than gas prices and the recession.
