If you want to save money on airfare, you may turn to the internet to search for money-saving travel tips. One tip you will find involves vacationing in the off-season. Apparently, it saves most travelers hundreds of dollars, just on airfare alone. As great as this sounds, is vacationing in the off-season right for you? To determine if so, examine the pros and cons of off-season vacationing.



The Pros of Vacationing in the Off-Season



You pay less in airfare. The greatest benefit of vacationing in the off-season is the cheap airfare. Why is it cheaper to fly in the off-season? It has to do with popularity and filled flights. Airlines lose money whenever there are empty seats on a plane. They want to fill those seats, so they offer discounts. As for popularity, most vacation destinations have tourists seasons and off-seasons. The height of tourist season in Colorado is winter, as it is a ski state. Due to popularity, airlines have no problems filling flights in the height of tourist season, but they do in the off-season. That is why you are more likely to find deals and discounts.

 You get better deals on hotels and resorts. The possibility to save one hundred or more on airfare is enough for some tourists to hold off on making their travel plans, but what if you could also save on your hotel or resort? It is possible when you vacation in the off-season. Hotels and resorts offer off-season deals and discounts for the same reasons the airlines do; they lose money each time a room is empty. It is harder to fill these rooms in the off-season, so the discounts are more frequent and more valuable. When you calculate the money saved on airfare and your hotel, you could save thousands of dollars on an extended trip.

There are fewer tourists to deal with. Do you want to relax on the beaches of Miami, Florida in the middle of July? If so, you are not alone. Luckily, those same beaches are beautiful in late spring and early fall. If you wait until then to travel, you will find fewer tourists. Whether you want to travel to relax or have the adventure of a lifetime, you don’t want to be one in a crowd of thousands. Overcrowded hotels, beaches, and restaurants are one of the quickest ways to ruin an otherwise good vacation. By vacationing in the off-season, you still gain access to great activities and attractions.

The Cons of Vacationing in the Off-Season

You may not have the freedom to decide. If you are traveling for a vacation, you can try to work with your employer to negotiate your vacation time. However, if you are traveling to spend time with friends and family back home or to attend a special event, such as a wedding, your hands are tied. Although it is easy to save money by traveling in the off-season, not everyone has the luxury to dictate their travel dates.

The discount may not be that good. You will save money by vacationing in the off-season. This is all but guaranteed. However, the amount you save will vary. It depends on where you travel, which airline you fly, and your destination. If waiting until late fall to visit the beaches of Miami only saves you $50, is it really worth the hassle? Not likely.


The weather may hamper your vacation. There is a reason why popular vacation destinations have off-seasons. That reason is the weather. New York City is a popular vacation destination, but no one wants to visit when it is covered in snow and ice. Not many people want to visit Colorado in the summertime, as there is no snow to ski on. In this aspect, the weather can impact your available vacation activities. If you have your heart set on skiing the beautiful mountains of Colorado, don’t wait until the off-season. You will get your trip and save money, but it will be nothing like you dreamed.

· Look online for discounts on airfare, car rentals, hotel reservations and more

When it comes to looking for total vacation packages, they come with several different interests in mind. For example, you may choose a cruise package or a package to a specific destination. Alternatively, you may choose a package intended for families only or a couples package if you are traveling with a partner.

All inclusive packages will typically include travel to your destination and while you're there, airfare, accommodations such as the hotels you stay at, and some even include your dining and meals. Make sure if you are looking to buy a package vacation deal that you are 100% certain of everything that it does and does not cover.

Longs Peak

 Are you planning an eco-friendly vacation in the United States? Many places are beginning to take steps to attract those who are interested in eco-friendly travel and living. You don’t have to go far to find eco-friendly vacation spots. Some might be right in your own back yard. Here are a few you might want to consider checking out right in the United States.

1. Alaska

Dawes Glacier


There’s so much beautiful nature you can take in while traveling to the great state of Alaska. There’s the infamous Northern Lights of Aurora Borealis that’s a must-see. Then there’s the iceberg and Dawes Glacier at Endicott Arm Fjord, and plenty of wildlife in the national parks of Alaska.

2. Hawaii

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

If you are looking for a tropical getaway, then this is where to go. You might want to avoid some of the typical tourist attractions that are Hawaii, but if you want to enjoy some eco-friendly tourism, then you need to visit the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. You will get to see tropical forests and barren lands and be at sea level or atop the highest volcano. You’ll enjoy such wildlife as humpback whales and green turtles.

3. Colorado

Milner Pass

 
The Rocky Mountain National Park is a great place for camping, trekking, and nature hikes. The Ute Trail is the most popular trail. The Never Summer Mountains, Longs Peak, Milner Pass, and Mesa Verde are some of the most visited destinations. The Garden of the Gods State Park has some amazing rock formations that you are not going to want to miss.

4. Arizona

Grand Canyon

This is home to the Grand Canyon, so how could this not be on an eco-friendly travel destination place in the U.S.? In addition to the greatest tourist attraction of all, there are also six national forests, four different deserts, and three canyons in Arizona. There is also the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park.

5. Montana

Yellowstone National Park

Home to Yellowstone National Park, of course, Montana is on the list of eco-friendly tourist destinations in the U.S. The park boasts of more than 1500 species of trees and plants, as well as hordes of wildlife like bobcats, cougars, black bears, bison, badgers, lynx, coyotes, elks, and much more. There are also other national parks like the Glacier National Park which you can visit.

6. California

Yosemite National Park

 Aside from the longest coastline in all of the United States, California has several other attractions which make it a great eco-friendly travel destination. With parks like Yosemite National Park and Emerald Bay, you can see many different animals and great scenery which provides a photographer’s and painter’s paradise. Emerald Bay is a national landmark.

The most important thing to remember when visiting these amazing nature parks in the United States is to be sure to follow all posted rules. You will want to prevent things like forest fires and doing anything which can destroy the environment and the habitat that many of these animals call home.

Help restore the ecological balance and introduce our young people to nature and how to properly care for it with these eco-friendly travel destinations in the U.S.

Roatan, Honduras, remains a largely undiscovered jewel of the Caribbean. Cruisers are starting to become acquainted with it as more cruise lines add it to their list of ports. The island is home to two cruise ports that service and accommodate hundreds of visits every year. Almost invariably, passengers fall in love with the lush paradise, which differentiates itself from many other islands in that the island home to tropical forests and palm trees that provide shade on many of the island's picturesque beaches. Cruisers aren't the only visitors, though, as SCUBA divers from the United States and Canada frequently fly down to spend a week or two underwater.

Diving is the undisputed top attraction of the island. At many dive destinations around the world, divers have to spend the better part of an hour or more to reach dive sites, substantially increasing the time commitment that people make to the activity, making divers prone to seasickness, and keeping divers from spending as much time as they might like on other activities. In Roatan, though, the reef is just a few minutes from the shore, with many dive sites located no more than a couple of hundred yards from shore. This means that divers can get in more dives in less time while enjoying some of the world's best diving.

For those who prefer to stay on the surface, there is no shortage of snorkeling options. Some SCUBA shops accommodate snorkelers as well. West Bay Beach, one of the top choices for islanders local and expat alike, is just a short swim from the reef, where wildlife is abundant. Half Moon Bay in West End also offers plenty to see, much of it in water that is waist deep.

West Bay and West End tend to be both the safest and most popular options for tourists on shore. West Bay has several resorts located right on the beach, putting the Caribbean Sea within a minute of their guests. The resorts offer several dining options, ranging from meals in the $8-$10 range to far more luxurious options. Available activities include jet skiing, parasailing, and SNUBA, an option for those who are not certified SCUBA divers to experience the underwater world.

West End is the island's main bar strip. It has everything from bars offering $1 beers at Booty Bar to the Argentina Grill and Lighthouse Grill, which cater to those looking for higher-end dining experiences. Even those establishments offering high-end food, though, the ambience is just as casual as it is throughout the rest of the island.

Visitors looking for other experiences on land can visit the Garifuna village to get a look at one of the island's oldest communities. For the adventurous sorts, ziplining and go-carting are readily available. Animal lovers may also enjoy the iguana farm, where massive iguanas crawl over each other - and the feet of visitors, to eat the leaves that visitors feed to them. Opportunities for close encounters with monkeys are also an option. For animal lovers who want the most intimate possible encounters, a swim with the dolphins at Anthony's Key is a must.

Roatan has earned its growing reputation as a jewel of the Western Caribbean. It offers something for everyone, from those who want adventure to those who just want to relax and enjoy a few drinks on some of the world's most beautiful beaches. Anyone planning a cruise, or a relaxing vacation would do well to consider this largely undiscovered destination.

There is no shortage of captivating, family-friendly attractions and notable dining spots in Anchorage. Here, we have listed some of the finest Anchorage attractions for you to explore.

Anchorage is among the busiest air hubs in the state of Alaska. And thus, if you wish to bask in its cultural magnificence, and unparalleled outdoors but don't want to end up broke, book flight tickets to Anchorage in advance as airlines increase airfares to Anchorage as the travel dates approach.
Alaska Native Heritage Center
This cultural center is a great place to learn and adore the native traditions and customs of the region's outsized past and affluent present. The heritage center is mainly divided into three parts - a gallery that exhibits native artifacts, a performance and event hall that features cultural dances and other performances, and seven traditional dwellings that demonstrate culture and lifestyle of some of the native tribes.
Anchorage Zoo
A premier family-based attraction, the Anchorage zoo is known for its collection of native animals of the Northern Climate. Various zoo exhibits feature Polar Bear, Moose, Musk Oxen and other wildlife. Anchorage zoo is also praised for doing a commendable task of rescuing and sheltering injured animals and those who cannot live on their own.
Tony Knowles Coastal Trail


Tony Knowles Coastal Trail stretches for about 11 miles from near the Anchorage's oldest house, the Oscar Anderson House to the Kincaid Park. The trail is scenic, and along with walking, it's also popular among skiers and bikers. No matter how you cover this popular trail, the panoramic views of the city and mountains and wildlife viewing opportunities will spellbind you.
Chugach State Park

Sprawled in 700 square miles, Chugach State Park is among the largest state parks in the United States. The extensive park consists of snow-crowned mountains, glaciers, lakes, and rivers that enable visitors to indulge in great outdoors like camping, hiking, and skiing. Bears, wolves, moose and other wildlife can also be spotted during the excursion of this world-known park.
Anchorage Market & Festival
When Anchorage Market and Festival was first organized in 1992, it was no bigger than a regular weekly market anywhere else in the world. With just about two dozen vendors, the market was held on Saturdays only. Over the years, it has gained a lot of popularity. Now more than 300 vendors at downtown Anchorage offer a variety of products on Saturdays and Sundays. Spend at least a couple of hours here and browse through the hundreds of shops and stalls that sell clothes, artifacts, souvenirs and more. You can also enjoy a wide selection of local delicacies available at the food stalls at the market.

If you are in Anchorage with your family, some of these attractions and activities may cost you hundreds of dollars. You can plan your trip beforehand and book cheap flights to Anchorage to make your trip budget-friendly. Booking roundtrip flight tickets to Anchorage is a credible way of saving money on airfares.
