Parsippany, NJ septembre 23, 2002 - Statistics show that older Americans are heeding wanderlust's call and traveling in greater numbers than ever before. Many Americans are retiring earlier than their parents, are benefiting from more disposable income and are enjoying a longer life span, according to a recent article by AARP website contributor Sandy Berger, The Travel Industry Association of America reports that people aged 55 and over have increased their travel by almost forty percent.
Just in time for Fall road trips, Avis Rent A Car System Inc. announces a new and exclusive benefit for AARP members.
