Summer is fast-approaching and many people are already planning their getaways. Every vacationer wants to relax and have fun in a nice place, but people tend to consider the budget first so they look for bargain deals. Luckily, there are many places where travelers can find good deals for a nice trip.
In her recent interview on ABC News, Genevieve Brown, a travel and lifestyle editor, said that planning in advance is the best way to obtain cheaper rates on airfares and hotel bookings. She added that for those who would like to go on European tour, price of airfares would be much cheaper if bought about four months ahead of the intended tour date.
Brown also shared that New York City is a popular summer destination and the city is offering one of the best deals right now. She said that Triumph hotel owns seven properties in this vicinity and these will have a flash sale promo, offering about 40 percent discount from April 26 to 27.
When asked about any good deals for people who prefer out-of-town trips, she mentioned that the best summer deal for that is the St.Lucia deals. Brown made this suggestion because travelers can enjoy free night stay, free massages, free meals and other delightful stuff. In particular, she said that Coco Bay is offering 45 percent off its rates.
In a press release, St. Lucia News announced that many resorts in the area have cut prices and this promotion has been dubbed as the "Saint Lucia Rocks This Summer." During the promo period, vacationers can take advantage of 50 percent slash on room rates and free hotel nights.
Tracey Warner Arnold, Deputy Director of Tourism for the Saint Lucia Tourist Board, said in a statement, "Summer in Saint Lucia is full of adventure and packed with value. Special savings from the island's leading hotels and resorts combined with deals on tours and attractions found only in Saint Lucia are the perfect combination for summer fun for couples and families."
For the last piece of advice, Brown said that for backpackers who are still planning their trip, it is wise to look around first and compare rates of resorts. Check out the amenities too because this will make a big difference at how far the budget will stretch for a really worthwhile trip.
