Terrorist Activities in the United States on 9/11 Forced Many

Terrorist activities in the United States on 9/11 forced many Americans to rethink their vacation plans even though measures were taken to protect airplane passengers.A large number of them canceled their plans to fly to a vacation destination and opted to drive to one that was closer for safety reasons and as a way to bond more closely with their family members.Vacation destinations in Florida particularly suffered a decline in business.One can argue that for the U.S.tourist industry,the decline in tourism was due to:

A) controllable elements within corporate structures
B) social forces that changed the attractiveness of alternative vacation options
C) macroeconomic conditions which made Florida destinations non-competitive relative to U.S.vacation spots
D) a shift in regulatory controls from the public sector to the private sector
E) competitive forces in the northern regions of the U.S.that induced Americans to stay home as a way to better enjoy their vacations
