The travel sector holds the potential for further upside this year following signs of a rotation in consumer spending to services from goods, according to Jefferies.  The S&P 500's consumer discretionary sector rose 0.3% in choppy trade Friday following the release of the Commerce Department's personal spending and income report for February.
