How Common is Nude Recreation?

New Year, New Web Information for Nudists

Nude Recreation is booming as more people try it for the first time. USAnudist.com is a newly opened website filling their information needs via the Internet.

Tampa, FL, February 10, 2007 --(PR.COM)-- Nudists and naturists make up a large share of the American population. In a 2006 Roper Poll, 24% of the population have gone "skinny dipping" or nude sunbathing. For the under 35 group, the number is 32%. That's one out of four in the general population and almost 1/3 of the under 35 market.

The American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) reports nude recreation and tourism has grown into a multi-million dollar business, more than doubling in size in the last 10 years, according to travel industry estimates. It now includes several nude cruises, nude flights to Mexico,and clothing-optional condos and luxury resorts in nearly every tourist destination.

High-end nudist resorts are springing up in Florida, California, Mexico, the Caribbean, with luxury condos, villas, hotels, and high-end RV parks, equipped with WiFi Internet access.

With the variety of locations and many new participants in Nude Recreation, there is a need for currently updated nudist information, and nudist websites help fill that need.

Activated on January 1st, USAnudist.com is a new nudist & naturist information site, with news updates, commentary, trip reports, and more, with over 17,000 hits in its first month of operation. USAnudist is derived from Tropical Resort, one of the first nudist websites, created in 1993.
