Abstract:
In 1954, passports were issued to 5,642 North Carolinians, which is an increase of over 300 percent of foreign travel over the last five years. And according to the World Travel Service of Charlotte, the sort of North Carolinian that is traveling is the housewife. The easing of world tensions, travel restrictions in many countries, increased cross-Atlantic sailings and flights, and the urge to see the world are all prompting North Carolinians to travel abroad.
