[edit] Background

In the United States, spring break may range from the end of February to late April, but many schools are out for one of the weeks in March.

Typical Spring Break destinations include Cancun, Acapulco, Cabo, Florida, the Bahamas, Jamaica and South Padre. The activities involve a lot of partying with abandon, meeting new people, visiting the local restaurants/clubs and just having an all-round good time. There are many travel providers that provide assistance to students hoping to travel nationally or internationally for Spring Break notably StudentCity.com, SpringBreakTravel.com and SpringBreakDiscounts.com. All these providers provide a variety of packages at different price points.

The most popular spring break spots in 2006 were Cancún, Mexico; Acapulco, Mexico; South Beach, Florida; Panama City Beach, Florida; South Padre Island, Texas; Negril, Jamaica; Nassau, Bahamas; and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.[4].

A popular choice for Spring Breakers on the east coast is to set out a "road trip" ranging from Boston all the way down to popular destinations spoken of before in Florida.

In recent years, Las Vegas has also become a spring break destination for many college students, despite its lack of beaches and restriction on its drinking and gambling activities to those aged 21 and above. [5]
