Are you ready to raft? Rafting industry on a major rebound
Media Release
Jun. 23, 2006
Although slow to rebound from the travel downturn after the Sept. 11 attacks, the industry has largely recovered since. Companies in the West are making a more significant recovery than those in the East, where demand has been flat and in some cases declining.
The industry began to rebound after the 2001 attacks, then was slowed some by the economic fallout from the beginning of the Iraq war. Then, while the West took off in 2004-05 in part helped by its myriad tourist destination spots, the East suffered through wet, cool weather that dampened visits.
