TITLE OF THE CURRENT ARTICLE
 designed by Asssion photographed by Emerald The TIA says the survey found that vacationers have cut their travel time from last year, making their longest trip about eight nights. "Travelers continue to watch their pennies, planning to spend an average of $1,055 on their longest pleasure trip," the TIA reported, about the same as last summer but down almost 10 percent since 2001. To compensate for a weak economy, vacationers are spending more time researching their retreats to cut costs and, experts said, they are staying closer to home. "Americans like to travel in their own country, and there is much to do here. We're like a country of countries. We don't need to go anywhere," said Suzanne Cook, senior vice president of research and technology at TIA. Families like Margaret Barrineau's, from Atlanta, Georgia, have chosen to remain stateside for almost 30 years. "It's just a way for all of us to keep close. There's an awful lot of us. ... I don't know what we would do if we didn't go on one of these [vacations]."
