This economic downturn is really doing a number on the travel industry. Booking around the world down. Places visited by a lot of Americans and Europeans are especially hard hit. Australian tourist centers are also hit because of the sharp decline in the value of their dollar. It’s a bad time to be in the industry. The silver living in all of this is that prices are getting very cheap. In order to entice people to travel, the industry is offering great vacations deals- free nights, perks, discounts. Sadly, airline tickets haven’t gotten that much cheaper but the destinations themselves are. Some places are slashing prices up to 60% to get visitors. And when you do go, you’ll find the place mostly to yourself since no one else wants to go. This is great because it provides rest and relaxation without lots of people around. You always wanted a beach to yourself- now you got it. The downturn is causing a lot of stress but I think you should blow off some of that stress by heading out on vacation. Now is a great time with prices so cheap. If you are going to lose your money, might as well have a good time doing it.
