According to a national survey conducted among 2524 households in US, 27 percent of US residents chose their vacation on the basis of last minute offers in 2009, traveldailynews.com reported. They planned such kinds of trips just six days before the actual departure date.
The so-called 'flash sales' carried out through unsolicited e-mail campaigns are the other reason for the increased interest in last minute offers.
