When times get tough, smart travelers get smarter. If you want to keep travel affordable, there are plenty of good tips & habits that you should keep in mind when you're thinking about planning a trip. In the most recent Conde Nast Traveler, Wendy Perrin dishes out 25 great tips on saving money on your next trip in her article: The World On Sale.
As the world-wide economy has slowed, it seems that anyone and everyone is sharing their best strategies for traveling smartly, including Wendy. She's called upon some of her buddies in the travel industry to share their tips on getting cheaper hotels, better flights for less, and even the occasional cruise-ship tip. It's an article worth checking out.
One thing I think all travelers should be mindful of is that all of these strategies and tips will still be relevant when times get better. In fact, I think they're even more important when prices start going back up, because you'll have to work harder to find good deals when the airlines and hotels aren't begging for customers. So, get out there and collect all the best strategies people have to offer. Use them now, when times are leaner, AND in the future, no matter how good things are. That way, you'll always get more travel for less money. Who doesn't want that?
