The travel forecast has prices rising this New Year. Saving money means you will have to stategize ahead of time. Here are some facts and tips to help stretch your vacation dollar.
Book early. Gone are the days of last minute discounts. Airlines have cut capacity which leads to an incr...ease in prices. This year... there will be fewer planes to destinations world wide meaning less seats. Supply and demand. Airfares, hotels and cruises are not static in price. If you are planning a vacation in 2012 you should be booking it now.
Tip: Use the services of a good travel agent. If the price of your vacation decreases between the time you book and the time you travel a good travel agent will go to bat for you and get you the lower price.
Hotels & resorts are fuller. People are traveling. Business and leisure travel is on the upswing. This means hotels and resorts are filling up. Supply and demand. In the past couple of years hoteliers have dropped rates rather than let rooms sit vacant. Now that people are booking they don’t have to decrease their rates. What this means for you – rates are higher and will increase as a hotel/resort gets more bookings. Book early to get the best rate.
Cruise deals have changed. Cruise lines are no longer giving the deepest discounts to those who book last minute. Why? Those who booked ahead of time were “punished” by doing so by paying higher rates. Not a good business plan or way to keep customers happy. Now the best prices are for those who book early. Early booking discounts, waivers for single travelers and discounts for paying in full at booking are the trend.
Tip: Purchase travel insurance. I know, many people see it as a waste. However, life is unpredictable. It can be a lifesaver if you need it. Protect your vacation investment by purchasing travel insurance.
There is a lot of information out there. It is easy to become overwhelmed. If you want to find the best vacation for you at the best price then use the services of a good travel agent. A good travel agent will listen to what you want in a vacation and present you with the best options and the best price. You save time and money and get a vacation you will enjoy.
