Why Vacation Now – Part 2
August 27th, 2009
Back in April I did a post called “Why Vacation Now?” It provided some insight into why it was not a bad time to travel, despite many people’s fear over the economy, potential (or recent) job loss, and just money in general.
Now that summer is on its way out and many people have still foregone their vacation, I wanted to address this issue again with some additional thoughts. If these aren’t enough to convince you, I recently read an article entitled “Your Next Vacation Could Save Your Life”. Well, there you go. Tough to top that and I am not really going to try. Still, I hope these thoughts will help to inspire at least a short getaway.
Let’s Make a Deal! - My company does not focus on “cheap deals”, but it does focus on value, and it’s everywhere! Some recent great deals I recently came across: airfare to Costa Rica for $288 plus tax per person; hotels discounted 35% in major cities; Seaborn Cruises up to 65% off; free nights at Sandals resorts. And this is just the short list!
Fewer crowds: Less face it, when fewer people are traveling, you enjoy fewer crowds, shorter lines and more personalized service. In addition to economic concerns, now that kids are going back to school, many destinations are quieter and eager for tourists.
Natural Beauty: Imagine sitting at a cafe on a tree-lined street in Europe watching the changing leaves swirl in the light breeze, or hiking in the alps through the crisp autumn air overlooking the valley below. Fall is simply a magical time to travel, especially in North America and Europe.
Endless festivals – From the moon festival in China to Oktoberfest in Germany, fall is full of festivals. Looking ahead, New Years eve will be here before you know it and cities all around the world know how to party it up! From someone who’s spent several New Year’s Eve’s abroad, its one of the most exciting times to travel!
Do you feel the travel bug yet? Then go ahead, start dreaming up your next destination!
Of course, we’re always here to help you turn that dream into a reality, so feel free to contact us or post a comment!
