The National Association of Travel Organizations produced figures that showed the frantic effort of making a round trip in a day is so intense that single holidays regularly rack up the highest highway accident rate of the year. One typical survey showed that a month with a three-day weekend, compared with a month without one, produced a 19% increase in business for an airline and a railroad, a 16% increase for a resort hotel...
