Jaws dropped (and pants too) when German Travel agency OssiUrlaub.de said it would start taking bookings for a nudist day trip from an eastern German town to a popular Baltic Sea resort.

Managing Director Enrico Hess said that the 55 passengers will remain clothed until they board, undress during the flight, but dress before disembarking.

But the crew will remain clothed throughout the flight for safety reasons.

Actually, nude travel or "clothes-free vacations" is big business. There are 270 clubs and resorts in the United States, Canada, Mexico offering clothes free vacations of all kinds.

And the American Association for Nude Recreation's 50,000 members spend $400 million on nude travel.

Erich Schuttauf is the association's executive director and he says that it draws folks from all walks of life: "We have doctors, lawyers, people who drive buses and everything in between ... but you can't know the difference when you're all nude."

Schuttauf says they sail, swim and build sand castles. "Whatever people do on their vacations, we do too."
