Never been to a clothing optional resort before? No problem. We are the most mainstream nudist resort in the US and are perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time as reported by the Desert Sun newspaper, Palm Springs!

Last November, MSNBC picked us as the Best value nude sunbathing resort in the western US.

And in July 2011, the Los Angeles Times newspaper picked us as the most popular of ALL small resorts in Southern California. Pretty cool that our nudist resort is more popular than all the boring textile hotels. And they picked the city of Palm Springs as the runner up best travel destination of ALL Southern California.

Vacation American- The job you save may be your own!

I had an interesting phone call today. A potential guest from Southern California called and asked about what kind of discounts do we have for Saturday night, October 16th. I informed the guest that we were full then, but we discount rooms on Monday to Thursday nights to encourage midweek stays. The potential guest told me, "we just got back from St. Martin's. We dropped over $12,000 in 2 weeks and are trying to save. We're out of vacation days." Wow, they could have stayed here at The Terra Cotta Inn, Palm Springs, California for almost 2 months for that kind of money.

That got me thinking. Why do so many nudists go overseas and pay for overpriced vacations and not support American or Canadian nudist resorts? America has great nudist resorts. We have many couples from all over the US and Canada vacation with us. Yet, many Americans look upon American nudist resorts as only Saturday night getaways, not vacation destinations. They waste their vacation dollars in Mexico and the Caribbean instead.

Well, I say it's time to start supporting American and Canadian businesses. Especially nudist businesses. According to a USA Today article in March, 2010, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics report 20% of hotel workers have have been laid off in this recession. And I bet even more since that article came out.

Vacationing in the US and Canada is one way you can reinvest money in our countries. The US and Canada are so closely tied economically. We are the worlds largest trading partners. Spending vacation dollars in either country benefits both. It is estimated that for every $100 spent at a local independent business, $68 goes back into the local economies.

When a nudist in the US or Canada vacations in the Caribbean or Mexico especially at a non nudist owned facility NOTHING goes back into promoting nudism. Also NOTHING goes back into supporting the American or Canadian economies. It all goes to foreign governments and employees. It's time to change this!

Here at The Terra Cotta Inn, we're doing OK in this recession as MSNBC reported, we're the best value nudist resort in the western US. Yet, our occupancy rate is still down about 8% from our all time highest occupancy rate in 2008. And we're working harder than ever to stay full. Since we reinvest more money into our resort proportionally than any other nudist resort, we always like a high occupancy rate, so we can keep our rates at great value and improvements high.

I just came across this good article in Sign On San Diego about buying American:

Starting Labor Day, let's buy American

For too long we have turned our heads and closed our eyes while millions of American jobs have been exported overseas. We can’t wait on government to realize what has happened and fix it.

...while economists and politicians argue about the root causes for the economic meltdown and bicker over solutions to getting America back to work, so many of us are left wondering what we can do to help change the situation.

President Obama recently said that the road to real economic recovery starts with three words – “Made in America.” I believe him. Like so many, I was raised believing that the “Made in America” tag was a symbol of national pride, an imprimatur that meant both loyalty and quality...

I am celebrating this Labor Day by setting out to change that.

More and more people are shopping their conscience by seeking out fair trade coffee, organic lettuce or grass-fed beef. It’s too bad we’re not also checking the label to ensure we are buying American-made products to support the value of putting fellow Americans to work. It’s something that has slipped our collective mindset.

...For too long we have turned our heads and closed our eyes while millions of American jobs have been exported overseas. We can’t wait on government to realize what has happened and fix it. It starts with all of us. We all need to make an effort to become economic patriots.

The only way to rebuild a sustainable middle-class economy is to refocus on American jobs...

...we can do any of this, we have to start taking the time to look for the label ourselves...

...Made in America should start in San Diego, and it should start this Labor Day.

US Chamber of Commerce encourages people to vacation in the US this year

I've been saying since last year that Americans and Canadians should only book at US and Canadian nudist resorts this year.

All the time I hear from people asking me "why aren't there more places like Terra Cotta Inn in the US." And then they proceed to tell me how they just spent like $5000-7500 in Mexico or the Caribbean on vacation.

We had one guest this spring stay with us for 3 weeks. They said this year they could afford 3 weeks at our resort for the price of 1 week in St. Martin.

Now our business has been pretty good this year. April was the busiest month in our 14 years of business. However, for instance, June has been slower than usual as it has been cloudy and cool in San Diego and Los Angeles. Many people who live in those cities don't know that it is sunny and warm just 100 miles away in sunny Palm Springs. As an example we only have 1 couple at our resort tonight from Southern California. We have more Canadians here than Californians. So we can always use more guests from out of state and out of country booking their vacations here.

American and Canadian nudists need to support our own. They need to join AANR and FCN to protect our nudist rights. They need to join nudist clubs and vacation only at US And Canadian nudist resorts. When nudists go to the Caribbean or Mexico, they are lining the pockets of non nudists who charge nudists more to go nude, than they charge textile guests. (Club O is an exception. It is very, expensive, but it is a naturist owned and managed resort).

I know more and more people are tired of being overcharged to go nude in the Caribbean and Mexico, but they need to completely stop going and support our own country and our own hard working nudists and nudist organizations.

I am surprised that more nudists have not said the same thing as I do. I know many nudist resorts in the US and Canada are hurting financially this year. They need the money much more than Jamaica or Mexico. Americans in the hospitality industry are being fired and yet people spend their vacation dollars not in their own country? It does not make sense unless you just don't care what happens to our country.

Now I see the President of the US Chamber of Commerce is finally saying people need to vacation in the US to help spur the economic recovery.

Here's the story:

"Travel and Tourism Can Help Spur Recovery

By Tom Donohue, President and CEO, U.S. Chamber of Commerce
June 23, 2009

Hundreds of cities and tens of thousands of small businesses depend on travel and tourism for their very survival, including the city I work in, Washington, D.C. In fact, travel and tourism is a $740 billion industry that employs 7.5 million people. It's been hard hit by the economic recession...

One thing we can do to stimulate the economy is to promote the vital travel and tourism industry. We can start by making America a more inviting place for international travelers to visit and conduct business. Passage of the Travel Promotion Act would be a huge step in the right direction...

In addition to attracting international visitors, we need to remove impediments that make it difficult for our own citizens to travel within our borders. Highway congestion, airport delays, and other inconveniences are increasingly causing many Americans to rethink travel plans. If we invest in a modernized infrastructure, we could create jobs during the recession as well as encourage more domestic travel when times are better.

Attracting visitors to our country is a lot like attracting capital--they go where they feel welcome, safe, and can get their money's worth. We want the United States to be the travel destination of the world, while making it easier for our citizens to get from point A to point B. Passage of the Travel Promotion Act would help achieve this at no cost to U.S. taxpayers."

This is a story that all nudist blogs need to repeat and it should be reposted everywhere. Actually all blogs should be reposting this.

Everyone is more than welcome to repeat this post.
