Explore Grand Canyon Tours Sees Increase in Grand Canyon Tours Leaving Las Vegas
Phoenix, AZ – Explore Grand Canyon Tours (www.ExploreGrandCanyonTours.com) obviously offers tours of the Grand Canyon. But in recent months a new trend has occurred: more Grand Canyon tours are being scheduled leaving out of Las Vegas, Nevada. While numbers for Grand Canyon tours leaving out of Arizona are consistent, the number of tours scheduled with Las Vegas as the departure point continue to increase.
Explore Grand Canyon Tours management suggests that the reason for the change could be the downturn. Most people are less likely to gamble when they are tight on cash; especially those who don’t make a regular habit of gambling. So tourists and business visitors to the Las Vegas area are spending less time visiting the craps tables and slot machines in the casinos and instead they are looking for other activities to spend their time on. One activity that many are turning to are the tours scheduled out of Vegas heading out to the Grand Canyon.
Tyson Bailey of Explore Grand Canyon Tours said, “It’s strange. I would never have pointed towards the tours based out of Vegas as our most popular until maybe a month or two ago. And now I’d have to say it’s pretty obviously one of our top sellers. The bus tour to the South Rim takes 13 hours and the West Rim helicopter landing takes 3 hours…they’re both great choices and experiencing equal increases in popularity recently.”
Explore Grand Canyon Tours offers tours departing out of: Phoenix and Page, AZ as well as Las Vegas, NV and the Grand Canyon itself.
