FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE WEEKEND GETAWAYS NOW RANK AS FAVORITE WAY FOR
30 MILLION COUPLES TO REKINDLE ROMANCE, NATIONAL SURVEY SHOWS AT TIMEFORTWO.COM THESE GETAWAYS ARE A
CLICK AWAY! (Scottsdale,
AZ) --- Over 30 million couples a year are discovering that week-end getaways
are an easy, yet exciting way, to keep romance alive in their relationships,
reports the Travel Industry Association. "Quick
vacations have become the perfect way for couples to get away from their
daily hassles and rejuvenate their love lives at the same time," says
William Norman, President and CEO of the Travel Industry Association.
"Today's couples are working harder and longer. Their free time is
dominated with kids, chores, and outside activities. As a result, Americans,
especially married couples, love to get away to rekindle the romantic feelings
in their relationships," he added. This is
confirmed in a survey conducted by Hyatt Hotels and Honeymoon
Magazine that reports 86% of respondents said being away from their
home environment make them feel more romantic. WHY A
WEEKEND GETAWAY?
"Today's
over-scheduled couples often have difficulty setting aside time for each
other during the workweek. A weekend getaway offers a truly refreshing change
of pace, whether you want to slow things down or speed them up,"
observed Barbara and Michael Jonas, nationally-known authors of The
Book of Love, Laughter & Romance. "There
are no beds to make, no children to supervise and no meals to cook, just a
lot of uninterrupted time with your partner to rekindle the spark in your
relationship," Barbara Jonas added. "A
short weekend away can actually be more refreshing than a longer vacation
since they take less preparation and travel time. With only minimal planning,
any couple can enjoy a relaxing and rejuvenating trip that will have them
feeling enthusiastic and ready to start a new week," says Michael. The
Jonas', who've been married for over 46 years, founded their company, Time
For Two, to address the needs of couples that want to keep their
relationship fresh and exciting. Couples
can even select a romantic experience to share through the comfort and
convenience of their own computer: the company's website, www.timefortwo.com, offers hundreds of choices
for romantic getaway travel packages from the traditional bed and breakfast and
quaint inn to full service hotels, resorts and urban hideaways; most of which
