(CNN) -- “There's something about being naked that makes a person forget a layoff, pay cut or a shrunken retirement account.
At least that's how the promoters of nude travel see it.
The economic recession is "doing us a lot of favors, maybe because there's the idea that if you've lost the shirt off your back, you should go nude," said Erich Schuttauf, executive director of the American Association for Nude Recreation.
He added: "You go to a [nudist resort] and when you take off all your clothes, all the cues that tie you to the workaday world -- the ties, the suits and everything -- when that's gone, your body says it's time to relax. You get in that mode faster."
While some nude-resort owners say they're cutting back because of the recession, others said they're on par with last year's budgets or are expanding their services. Overall, being naked brings in big bucks. According to Schuttauf, the industry is valued at more than $400 million..”
I think being nude at the beach or a resort is just great. I been posting here for years about nudism. For information on nudism in Florida check out List of Nudity places in FL.
I just got to get over to Haulover Beach. I have only been one time and that was back about 7 or 8 years ago when I lived in Orlando FL. Now I live right here and I have not been.
