Ninety-two percent of travelers said their plans have not been influenced by predictions for an active 2007 hurricane season, compared to 89 percent last year. This is according to the annual survey of more than 1300 travelers by TripAdvisor(R).
Twenty-nine percent of travelers (36 percent of Americans) are planning to visit a hurricane-susceptible destination this summer. Not surprisingly, the most popular hurricane-prone destination for travelers this summer/fall is Florida.

When it comes to spots travelers are likely to avoid during hurricane season, 22 percent cited the Caribbean, and an additional 22 percent said they would bypass the southern panhandle of Florida and gulf coast region.

This poll seems to be influenced by the previous year’s storm levels.  Hopefully we’ll have a quiet season and people will continue to travel.

Sadly, the places most dependent on tourism suffer the most - the Caribbean.
