Americans lose their holiday inhibitions

WASHINGTON (AFP) - It is called a vacation "au naturel," using a French expression as a fig leaf to cover up its more common name of naturism.

The United States is a deeply conservative country and some inhibitions take time to cast off, but Americans are starting to flock to beaches and country parks reserved for nudists, especially at the luxury end of the market.

"People are looking for a more relaxed way to spend their vacation," according to Carolyn Hawkins, public relations coordinator for the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR).

"They find visiting a nudist resort, they can travel more and pack less."
