Press Release Summary = Tired of the same old, boring chain hotel vacations? Try
something new and exciting. Visit a nudist resort. Every year, Nude Recreation Week
reminds people there are interesting nude travel destinations around the world. Pack
light, this is the year everyone will want to hear about your trip.

Press Release Body = Nude sunbathing and swimming have a long history in America.
Some of the more famous early nudists were Presidents George Washington and John
Quincy Adams. Ben Franklin took daily "air baths" as he called them "au naturel."
Many more presidents such as FDR enjoyed skinny dipping. And Norman Rockwell's
painting titled No Swimming showing skinny dipping at the local water hole, graced
the front cover of The Saturday Evening Post on June 4, 1921.

This July, celebrate the 31st anniversary of Nude Recreation Week from July 10th to
16th. The American Association for Nude Recreation http://aanr.com is one of the
major sponsors. The purpose of this week is to inform and educate people about all
the fun they are missing out on by not taking nude vacations.

According to a Wall Street Journal article, nude recreation is one of the fastest
growing segments of the travel industry. Nude vacationers now have choices such as
cruises (on such lines as Holland America, Carnival, and Star Flyer sponsored by
Bare Necessities of Austin Texas), upscale resorts, and rural campgrounds and clubs.
Guests feel very safe and comfortable at nudist resorts as inappropriate behavior is
not allowed. One upscale resort owner was even President of the Palm Springs Chamber
of Commerce.

As can be expected, the most popular clothing optional resorts are located in warm
parts of the country. Most notably Palm Springs, CA and Florida.

Cypress Cove Nudist Resort located just outside of Orlando, FL in Kissimmee is
Florida's most famous nudist destination. It is very popular especially because it
is close to all the attractions of Orlando like Disney World.

In Palm Springs, the popular place is The Terra Cotta Inn Clothing Optional Resort
and Spa. http://sunnyfun.com Sunny Palm Springs is a very popular nudist destination
as it has the best weather in America. Averaging less than 3 inches of rainfall a
year, there is no warmer, sunnier city in the U.S. Another very important reason
that nudist love Palm Springs is there are no mosquitoes because it is a desert
city. So save the bug spray for your Florida vacations.

The Terra Cotta Inn\'s popularity is also due to their catering to couples trying
nude sunbathing for the first time. They don\'t require memberships or mandatory
immediate nudity like many nudist resorts. A first timer could initially wear a
bathing suit or beach wrap if they so desired. Guests from around the world stay
with them. Mary Clare, the owner says, \"women are more intimidated by nude
sunbathing at first, but ultimately they love it because they love the sense of
freedom. You don\'t have to worry how you look in a bathing suit as you aren\'t
wearing one. Some women are nervous the first time they come here, and will go
topless sunbathing at first. But usually, after maybe 30 minutes, they feel
comfortable and will completely disrobe just like everyone else. Guests always ends
up nude sunbathing here because of our safe environment. Woman really appreciate it
that we think of their feelings and well being and allow them to go nude sunbathing
when they are ready.\"

This technique of allowing women to to feel comfortable is very successful. Terra
Cotta Inn has one of the highest repeat guest rates in the travel industry at just
over 75%.

Nude recreation week is to remind people that you don\'t have to settle for the same
old boring chain hotel vacations this year. There really are fun places where you
can relax and feel totally free. Isn\'t it time for a new, fun vacation? Give a
clothing optional resort a call. Celebrate Nude Recreation Week this year in your
birthday suit. You will be glad that you did.
