Despite the Recession, Vacations Still Hold Strong
The recession may have put a damper on many sectors of the economy, but
leisure travelers may actually benefit by taking advantage of deep
discounts or upgrading their summer experiences on last year's budget.
According to Stephanie Jolly, Seattle North American Travel Examiner, now is the time to travel.
She
cites a recent survey of 600 American Express Travel agents which
showed that nearly half of them believe travelers will be able to take
advantage of the plethora of deals and bargains to be had as airlines
vie to fill seats.
When speaking of discounts, one has to
mention timeshares as a great low-cost vacation option which gets even
cheaper when purchased on the secondary market.
Experts
believe this year's vacation ownership resale market will be
particularly attractive as the high volume of timeshares for sale is
pushing their prices down.
In addition to offering years of
vacations at top-quality resorts at a price fixed at the time of
purchase, timeshares allow for further savings because their home-like
amenities make it possible for guests to prepare their own meals, thus
eliminating the need to eat out.
The survey quoted by Jolly
further found that 66 percent of travelers feel their summer vacation
is important to their mental health, and it allows them to return to
work feeling refreshed, energized and more productive.
