How To Save Money When Traveling
Do you know you can go on a 7-day cruise for half the price?Or visit Europe for 15 days for only $2,000 per person including airfare, hotels, car rental and meals?If you follow these steps, you can save more up to 50% in travel expenses.1.
Travel during low season.Choosing to go on vacation during low season, will save you a great deal of money on airfare, hotels, cruises, car rental and more.The best dates to travel are between:February - MaySeptember - the week before Thanksgiving December 1 - 15
For example, a 7-day cruise in the Caribbean can cost around $1,000 during summer and winter but it can cost $495 in November.
A ticket to Europe can cost between $800-$1,200 during high season but you can buy it at $395 roundtrip during low season.2.
HotelsThe same applies to hotel rates.
When it comes to hotels, you should look for 3-star hotels that will offer most amenities you need at a lower price than 4 or more star hotels.
You should keep in mind, that 3-star hotels are smaller, but you can find very good hotels for a great price.
Keep in mind that hotels that are very near local attractions will be more expensive than hotels located 2 or 3 blocks away.3.
Attractions and Places to VisitMake a list of the places and attractions you want to visit and do some research.
Find out about the schedules, locations, special events, etc. You'll find out that there are certain dates during the year that they will have discounts and even free admission.4.
RestaurantsDon't visit tourist-oriented restaurants.
Instead, ask locals to recommend family-owned or small restaurants.
Not only will you pay less but the food, quality and service will be much better.Two years ago, I visited Monaco, France and we went to a small restaurant on a side street and we only paid $100 (for 4 people) for appetizers, great pasta, drinks and dessert (including tip). Not a bad price considering that Monaco is very expensive.
5.
Metro vs. TaxiIn most places, there is a metro or train system which will be a lot cheaper than traveling by taxi.
All you need to do is get a map and trace the route you're going to visit and find out the train or metro numbers you need to get on to.By planning your vacation in advance, choosing the best dates to travel (low season), doing research about places and attractions to visit, going to local restaurants versus tourist-oriented ones, and using the metro or train system instead of taxis, will save you a great deal of money and allow you to go on vacation at least twice a year..

Businesses Cut Travel in Katrina?s Wake
Los Angeles, CA (ContentDesk) September 30, 2005 -? While Hurricane Katrina wreaked devastating damage and massive suffering in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, the economic impact of the storm is being felt far beyond the Gulf Coast region. With the price of a gallon of gasoline hovering near three dollars and airlines compensating for rising fuel costs by increasing round-trip fares by as much as thirty dollars, the travel budgets of companies across the U.S. are straining at the seams.

Cancun All Inclusive Hotels
In the early 1950s, Cancun was an underdeveloped and scarcely populated island, with just one coconut plantation and small Pre-Columbian ruins of the Maya civilization. The Government of Mexico took steps to develop it as a tourist resort on a loan from the International Development Bank. A causeway to link the two parts of Cancun, an international airport and a "model city for workers", with housing, schools and healthcare facilities were constructed.
The Government began its development programs in 1970 and accelerated them in the 1980s.
Today, the city, including the mainland and the island, is home to 500,000 residents, most of whom are from mainland Mexico, and a growing number from the rest of America and Europe.
Cancun has a wide range of tourist accommodation to suit everyone.
There are about 140 hotels with 24,000 rooms and 380 restaurants. The hotel zone is very exclusive and multinational, with up-market restaurants, bars,...
