For a growing number of travelers going on vacation is more likely to involve rolling up your sleeves rather than just lying in the sun. Adventure travel used to be considered a small niche market. But a new study indicates that vacations -- activities including mountaineering cycling or volunteering are becoming mainstream. Researchers at George Washington University questioned 850 travelers from north and South America and Europe. The study found that those who were adventure travelers were young averaging 36 years of age they were also affluent and spent 89 billion dollars last year excluding costs of airfare and equipment although overall tourism fell last year the researchers found that when people travel they're more likely to engage in physical activities it's often out of a wish to have an authentic experience or get involved in a culture. Adventure travel is providing a new revenue base for tour operators the George Washington study estimated that 150 million adventure trips would be taken next year.
I'm Tracy Johnke it's back to school time that some high school kids who might have been thinking about college. Are having second thoughts according to a new survey from TD Ameritrade. Joining us to talk about the results is Stuart Rubenstein he's the managing director of investment products at TD Ameritrade. What did you learn from -- talking to these kids.
Thanks for having me Tracy -- do we learn. Significant number of teens are actually willing to delay attending college student the expensive requires. Actually 36% of teens are willing to delay the bill because it helps save money two to attend.
And how does this compare to here's past.
I would do the same survey last year in the numbers are up last year was 31%. And I think that the economy has played a big role in this and it's really unfortunate that colleges is being delayed.
You guys did a survey recently earlier this year that has sent a large number of teens -- I think it's almost 80% considered college very important suspect that a third of teens are willing to. Then and not go to college to save their family Manning us and it's pretty significant.
It's very significant -- and then another -- we have a 78% of teens are willing to sit down with their parents and develop a plan. To -- share of the cost. So I think that's very admirable pins today really understand the high cost of college and they and they want to contribute.
How can these parents and kids avoid getting to this point.
Sure it can -- economies is a big factor and certainly the increasing cost of education become a factor. And that's why we recommend that families -- prepare for college you know early on. And one of the things to recommend is actually that teens and parents develop good saving habits you know from the beginning. Look at different college savings accounts 529 college savings plans even if they have to start small. It's better to start earlier than to start later and every time you get -- has put a little Valerie is. Into the college savings plan as well. And you won't miss the money is that you don't see you know each and every month but it's going into the account automatically. And at the end of the day you'll be very glad the money's there.
