I agree with prediction #12. For instance we own a clothing optional resort in sunny Palm Springs. We have the 2nd highest occupancy rate of ALL hotels in town. In December, Palm Springs Life Magazine in their Best of the Best issue, they picked us as one of the 3 best of ALL hotels in the Palm Springs area. We were picked because we are the friendliest,most popular hotel in town.
Yet there are other clothing optional resorts that have gone bankrupt in the same time period.
All nudist resort are NOT the same. Just like regular bathing suit hotels, you have good and you have bad ones. People need to investigate and stay only at the good ones.
Have fun nude sunbathing. It’s he most fun vacation you will ever have.
