Early school starts dampens Labor Day travel By JULIE DUNN MetlitiNcws Group Wire Service Labor Day has lost its luster as i\ popular summer vacation weekend, thanks to a national trend toward earlier school start dates. Even before Hurricane Katrina. tourist destinations in Colorado said they were feeling the loss and many were offering deep discounts. The threat of a national gasoline crisis could hurt weekend travel even more. "What's happening in Louisiana is affecting gas prices at the pump," said AAA Colorado spokesman Mary Circer. "We expect to see people still traveling (this weekend), but some may not be traveling as far." Prices hit $3 a gallon at many Colorado stations this week, and on Thursday President Bush asked Americans lo conserve gas. To lure travelers, some hotels and resorts have offered incentives. Aspen is offering a $50 gas voucher good at a local gas station to guests who book two or more nights at participating hotels this weekend. In 1994, 1.4 million more people traveled over Labor Day than over Memorial Day. This year, the national figures are expected to show the reverse. In mid-August, AAA predicted about 2.7 million fewer travelers this weekend than those who hit the road over Memorial Day weekend. Even before Hurricane Katrina, changing school calendars had taken a bite out of Labor Day travel. Nearly three of every four U.S. schools now start before Sept. 1, compared to only one in four 15 years ago, according to Market Data Retrieval, a Connecticut company that tracks education trends. Advance online reservations at ResorlQuest's 500 vacation rentals in Breckenridge and Keystone were down more than 20 percent this Labor Day compared to last year. "We've seen a definite decline in Labor Day traffic for the past three years," said Alan Cardenas, director of sales and marketing for the national rental management company's Breckenridge properties. "It's obviously related to kids going back to school earlier. Summer is already over. People aren't thinking about vacation anymore." Destination Resorts Vail, which manages six hotel and condo properties, said its traffic dropped more than 50 percent in mid-August. "People with kids just get too busy to take a big trip right now," said Chris Romer, director of sales and marketing. Lobbied by the tourism industry, legislatures in such states as South Carolina, Nortel Carolina, Wisconsin.and Texas have considered requiring p.ublic schools to start after Labor Day.
