The 72 percent of vacationers were open to receive offers from adjacent locations like Hollister, Rockaway Beach, Forsyth, Ridgedale, Reeds Spring and others.
measured vacationers who began their trip planning 30 or 60 days in advance represented the 26 percent, while vacationers searching for place within the last 30 days before arriving to their Branson lodging were the 41 percent. The remaining group represented a 31 percent and were those who planned their trip at least two months before arriving to Branson.

The romantic choice was represented the 21 percent and were those couples searching for romantic places to stay. The last 1 percent represented vacationers traveling alone.
