Europeans in ever increasing numbers are visiting the United States. While bargain air fares and a cheap dollar are primary reasons, returning tourists and travel agents say there is more to it than saving cash. Americans, they say, have earned high marks for friendliness and fairness, for providing good service with a minimum of hassles, for welcoming tourists as well as their dollars. "I've spoken to a lot of people and I must confess that everybody has said they've had a marvelous time," said David Anderson of Thomas Cook Travel Ltd. "You'd think that someone would have something negative to say, but no." "There is an infatuation among French people for the American way of life," one Paris travel 'agent said. "They see it as a country 10 years ahead of Europe. Also, people are not so reserved as in France. They are always ready to talk to you, particularly in small towns." "I think it's important to have been there," said Waltraud Leber, 25, a Bonn school teacher who spent six weeks in California. "So much of what we have comes from there and you can understand it much better if you know the background." She said she liked Americans because they were open, friendly "and paid absolutely no attention to appearances. You could wear what you liked, do what you liked, in contrast to LONDON (UPI) here." Yet no matter how much foreign visitors may love New York, California the three big destinations or Florida low air fares and good value for their francs, marks or pounds remain the cornerstones of the boom. Consider this: A McDonald's Big Mac, small french fries and milk shake costs about $2.20 in Miami and Los Angeles and about - $2.60 in New York. In Stockholm, the same meal costs about $4.80 and in Paris, London and Hamburg, about $3.75. Other food prices are comparable: In London any cheeseburger worth the ketchup costs $5. In Bonn, a cup of coffee and a slice of cake fetches $3.40 and a can of beer Europeans cided with the lower air fares being offered by operators like Freddie Laker and Jetsave." This winter, economy seats on all the major airlines will sell for about $220 one way from London to New York, wilh comparable prices to other destinations. But perhaps more important are the cheap package vacations, which combine air fare, hotels and usually breakfast. One of the largest package tour operators in Britain is Jetsave, and its most popular destination is Florida. A Jetsave spokeswoman said that next Miami vacation will sell year a 14-d- for 280 pounds $1.70. "Cheapness of food and good service are mentioned most often by returning tourists," Anderson of Thomas Cook said. The same applies to hotels. In London, a Holiday Inn room for two people ranges from $110 to $152 a night. In Miami, the average price of th same Holiday Inn room is $42. At $56 a night, the Holiday Inn near the Vatican is cheaper than New York City's $73, but the Big Apple is still less than Paris ($97) or Cologne ($80). U.S. Travel officials trace the tourist boom to the Bicentennial year of 1976. "We saw a concerted effort by the United States to promote itself for tourists aboard," said Roger Fennings, public relations consultant to the U.S. Travel Service in London. "That coin $675. "Florida," said Fennings of U.S. Travel, "is not like other patterns: it is an example of sudden, explosive growth. The thousands of tourists who used to frequent the Mediterannean picked themselves up en masse and went to Florida for a good time." Miami's Dade County reported 192,615 European visitors in the first six months of 1980, 124,615 from Bri- tain. "Each month, without fail, the. figures rose in occupancy and resort' tax collections," said Dade County Tourism Director Lew Price. In the Bicentennial year, tourism from Britain leaped 32 percent. "It's been growing by between 25 and 42 percent annually every year since then," Fennings said. "This year we feel confident it will grow another 40 percent." The same holds true for other European countries.
