Tips For A Great Vacation

Let the deal determine your destination -- Mark your calendar with dates for your vacation, then wait to decide until the last minute, using deals in travel websites. During peak summer travel season or holidays like Dusshera, you may not find last-minute deals to the most popular destinations, but you are sure to find a bargain adventure to a new place.

Plan around the Peak times -- March and again in July, prices start to fall as kids go back to school and parents go back to work. Cruise bookings in the Caribbean are also light during this time, which means that last-minute travelers should be on the lookout for some real bargains if they can be flexible.

Consider closer-to-home destinations that offer excitement and a great vacation at a great value -- If you think that France and Britain are too far away, go to destinations that are closer to home like Bangkok, Singapore, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur or Bali. These destinations can be great holiday hotspots without burning a hole in your pocket.

Look for the best international hotel deals -- When booking hotels at online travel sites, you'll save 20-30% on a 2-3 day stay or get a night free. Check out the summer fares on most popular world destinations to get some great offers on hotel bookings.

Take advantage of online sites that provide advance booking on attractions -- When you book attractions /sightseeing activities online in advance of your vacation, you not only save on time and energy but also get a good deal.
