MissTravel.com Releases “Top 10 Hurricane Season Hot Spots” Amid Peaceful Weather
(PRWEB) September 24, 2013 -- Hurricane Season, or lack thereof, has currently been all speculation and no action (knock on wood). And according to the National Hurricane Center, only four tropical storms have formed and subsided since the onset of Hurricane Season in July.
In the past 50 years alone, weather activity has traditionally peaked on September 10th (NHC). Evidently, some budget-conscious travelers are using this weather lull to their advantage.
MissTravel.com, the world’s only destination-dating website with over 300,000 members, experienced a 71 percent increase in all non-domestic trips scheduled for August, specifically in the Caribbean.
