Just read this encouraging word in CNN’s travel section.

Nearly one in four Americans, or 68 million Web surfers, used online travel sites in November, up 13 percent from a year earlier, said Nielsen/NetRatings.

The market research company said 23 percent of Americans and 46 percent of all active Web surfers visited a travel site during the month.

Online consumers spent $919 million on travel during November, up 11 percent from the $828 million spent a year earlier, according to the Holiday eSpending Report by Goldman Sachs, Harris Interactive and Nielsen/NetRatings.

In more local news, GoNOMAD will soon be in a brand new office at 14A Sugarloaf St, downtown South Deerfield, MA 01373. We’re bricks and mortar now.
