The return to tried-and-true travel destinations appears to be a trend, according to some travel agents. Tania Swasbrook, vice president at Travelworld International Group in Coronado, Calif., said her agency has seen a huge return to Western European destinations such as Greece and Italy. She likens it to “the Starbucks effect.”
“You know what you are going to get when you get there,” she said. “People are interested in places they know. It makes them feel a little bit more comfortable.”
