As the downtown customer changes, so should downtown businesses:
"Multi-generational travel is a new emerging market" according to Peter Yesawich, CEO of Ypartnership. The standout trend is that extended families are the only form of travel in the US that has shown any significant growth in the past five years. Downtowns should capitalize by adjusting products and services to cater to mom, dad, the kids and grandparents as a single customer unit. www.ypartnership.com |

The doctor says, "That's what puzzles me!" | |
