Small businesses in US tourist destinations are experiencing a positive summer. This is due to Americans opting to stay closer to home for their vacations.

Instead of traveling overseas, people are choosing road trips and shorter outings. They are also altering their spending habits while on vacation, such as cooking their own meals to save money.

Further details on this trend are available from NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth, which has more information on how small businesses are being impacted by these changes in travel behavior.
