On top of escaping the cold, Ferguson says today’s fast-paced world has people placing more importance on peace-of-mind.

“In our industry it’s about sanity, it’s about staying sane. Many people will for-go spending furniture, so they can go away and have that week of sanity, and rest and relaxation and sunshine.”

Ferguson says January still remains the agency’s busiest month of the year with over one million dollars in bookings.
