Spring Break brought many people to the City of Lake Havasu, generating revenue for local businesses in the city. One tour group, Summer Winter Action Tours (SWAT), thought spring break was so successful that they want to repeat their stay there every year for the next 5 to 10 years, if possible. SWAT organizes college students for custom weekend or week-long adventures. The group has brought 3,000 college students to Havasu during March and April alone. They even brought a smaller group of 200 people for spring break. That’s a big boost for the local economy.
Feedback from these latest visits has encouraged Summer Winter Action Tours to consider negotiating deals with the Nautical Inn, London Bridge Resort and Kokomo Night Club for future trips to the city. For college students from California, Nevada and Arizona, Lake Havasu City is close enough to get there quickly.
However, spring break isn’t the only good time to head out to Lake Havasu. 300 days of sunshine, warm summer weather, wonderful water and desert activities, and great nightlife make this city the perfect destination for a week-long or weekend trip. And since home prices remain fairly affordable, it’s a great time to buy your own vacation home away from home.
City officials expect the latest Spring Break numbers to continue into the summer months. The city has been fortunate to experience a positive economic trend in recent months and the influx of tourists during the summer is sure to keep Havasu’s numbers in the positive column.
