There are great prices now for your winter escape. Don't let the snow and cold weather get you down.
Some people call me and say, “I'm overwhelmed with all the information on the internet about travel. Please help me.” Yes, it can be daunting and time consuming. Here are a few ways to simplify it.
- Know your budget. Don't wait to the last minute to plan a trip as it usually ends up costing more money.
- Pick a climate. Are you looking for warm weather or a mild climate.
- Are you concerned about safety. Below is a list of the safest places in the world to travel according to the Institute for Economics and Peace. They calculate the Global Peach Index which ranks the nations according to the country's level of Negative Peace using the amount of ongoing domestic and international conflict; level of harmony or discord within a nation; and indicators related to militarization.
The top eleven are Ireland, Japan, Switzerland, Canada, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Austria, Portugal, New Zealand, and Iceland. - Do you want to travel for relaxation, adventure, to learn something, or a combination of these.
- Do you want a land adventure or a cruise.
- How much time do you have to vacation.
Travel trends still show that
- 49% of Boomers say they travel to relax and rejuvenate and 47% are looking for a getaway from everyday life (up from 39%).
- About half (49%) of respondents only expect to travel domestically. Florida and California are the most popular U.S. destinations.
- The other half (47%) plan to travel domestically and internationally. Top choices for those going abroad: the Caribbean/Latin America and Europe.
- Millenniums are traveling more abroad than any other generation. Their travel abroad has increased by 30% since 2007. They have committed to travel even if there are uncertain economic conditions.
- As you can see from the trends, people are still traveling internationally. People are traveling in multi generational groups and want to make memories last a life time. If budgets don't allow for international travel, people are traveling domestically.
There is a trip for everyone. You can make the trip a family plan or you can get the help of an expert with knowledge or locations and prices to help you plan your trip. Most people don't realize that travel agents usually don't charge extra. Their fees are built into the price of travel components. They can get you the same price on Expedia or Hotels.com and save you a lot of hassle. Either call your local travel agent or use the six step simplified process. Only you know what's best for you.
