"CONNECTION BETWWEN 9/11 AND THE TRAVEL BUSINESS"

I searched for "about travel" at infotrac. I found an article called "Seeing the light " by Alan Fredericks. He talks about the impact that resulted in traveling businesses after the tragedy that happened at 9/11. "It seems trivial to be concerned about the economic impact of the attacks when so many people lost their lives on that day" (Seeing the light). Travel businesses were supposed to return to it previous state in 2004. According to this article, Americans are less interested in flying since September 11,2001. Because of this tragedy Americans will not travel far away and they will stay at their comfortable homes where they feel safe from another 9/11 from happening. Travel Weekly issued an article about airline seat portions being increased because of potential long-haul traffic."But barring another awful event, we are moving out of the cloud of 9/11 and beginning to see the light" (seeing the light).
