Southern California is a Top 10 Destination for Student & Youth Travel
A 2008 report conducted by the Student & Youth Travel Association (SYTA) has shown that Southern California is ranked number 7 on its list of top 10 U.S. destinations considered hot spots for student and youth travel.

According to a SYTA report conducted in 2007, a majority of 12 to 18 year old travelers in the United States take at least one significant group trip each year without parents; spending almost $10 billion a year. Most tours are either focused on an educational or performing arts component.

The rich cultural offerings available in Los Angeles from museums to performances make LA a very popular destination for student and youth travelers. In addition, Hollywood, the beaches and theme parks were also popular choices for students and youth travelers.
