Off Season Travel Can Save You
Hundreds of DollarsBy:
Cassandra Ingraham
Travel to certain destinations during off-peak periods
and can save you hundreds of dollars. This is a fact.
Nearly all popular travel spots experience highs and
lows in the flow of visitors. During the low periods, airlines, hotels, tour
operators, and other travel companies are eager to attract paying customers by
offering deals. Price-cutting, freebies, and special offers suddenly become the
norm in places that wouldn't otherwise offer discounts when the demand is high.
The number one reason for an area being off-season is
usually weather-related. It is important to find out why a particular
destination has a low season. Rain that does not stop during the monsoon season
in Asia or 120-degree summer temperatures in Death Valley might be more than you
can handle. Low season is often low for a good reason, however. Prices are
cheap, but they often deserve to be. Hurricanes are blowing around the Caribbean
and Florida, Egypt feels like the inside of an oven, the Andes are obscured by
clouds. Many beach towns all over the world are literally boarded up in the
off-season.
Check with your travel agent to find out the low and
high peak seasons of your destination or better yet, use the
Travel Library to locate a travel guide that will explain this method of saving in
detail.
