Getting To The Truth About Gulf Travel With Tradewinds Travel Club Tucson

According to a recent poll, many Americans believe that the oil spill is impacting regions far beyond their actual reach. It is true that this is one of the most tragic events in ecological history of the U.S., but far beyond that are the impacts on those who call these areas home. With the current belief by many U.S. citizens that the oil is in fact on every beach in the Gulf, tourism has ground to a screeching halt.

Livelihoods are being impacted on a massive scale from fisherman no longer able to fish to hotels and motels losing over 50% of their business, and the thousands of animals dying from the slick, the oil spill impact is being felt today as much as it was felt 2 months ago. Tradewinds Travel Club Tucson would like to offer the facts on the current areas being affected by the Gulf oil spill.
