**ResortsandLodges.com has analyzed millions of keyword searches to find the most popular trips being planned for Summer 2012.**

Minneapolis, MN., June 14, 2012   ResortsandLodges.com, a leading Resort and Lodge destination travel website, is releasing it's Top North America travel trends for summer 2012. Hundreds of thousands of Google keyword search combinations brought travelers to ResortsandLodges.com in May, consuming more than 2.2 Million pages of travel content.  ResortsandLodges.com has analyzed this data to determine the most popular North American travel trends for summer 2012.

“It’s definitely interesting to see how travel changes from year to year.  In the several years leading up to 2012, we saw most travelers searching by budget related keywords, sometimes sacrificing quality and multiple activities for cheaper prices  because of the recession.  This year, we’ve definitely seen a shift towards value driven keywords and packaging.  People always want a good deal; however, they want to experience multiple activities while at a resort or in a resort destination.  With so many great destinations offering deals, travelers are taking time to consider multiple options and are ultimately going with what they really want to get from their vacation rather than the cheapest option.” said Ryan Bailey, President of ResortsandLodges.com.

Each year ResortsandLodges.com continues to help millions of travelers plan their summer trips with a wide variety of expert and user generated content, including:  Top 10 lists, travel guides, social travel recommendations and over 800 destination and property videos.
