NOTE: This blog has
no ads and I'm not beholden to hotels, cruise lines, tour companies or
airlines, and that's why I can offer my readers the truth about all of the
above + offer the many ways to enjoy comfort traveling for less
The usual
individual choices about adventure, relaxation, a mix of both, or whatever else
moves a traveler to want to travel on their vacation, exists well with safety,
but often the prices are higher.
Travel to
Machu Picchu, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, and be very
safe, but there are no tour bargains, hotel prices are not cheap, airfare is
high too.
Booking Macchu
Picchu may be less expensive for the do-it-yourself traveler, for Machu Picchu http://wikitravel.org/en/Machu_Picchu
will give the necessary information to assemble the components of the tours
offered.
As for the
other destinations the do-it-yourselfers use the online tourism offices of each
country to assemble the tour components: for instance, hotels with concierge services
for the schedule of daily city tour buses that stop at the hotel to pick up
pre-booked passengers who pay in advance, ground operators with airport pickup in
their lineup of products, and airfares could be cheaper at certain times of
year and adjusting the number of days.
Where safety
is not a problem, there is always a cruise to the Caribbean with prices to suit
those who are looking for bargains during off season, or a trip to Ireland that
can be a tour travel bargain depending on the time of year, but try to take a
direct flight there, safety could be a problem going through the UK.
As well, with
no safety worries, there are the American based and registered cruise companies,
American Queen Steamboat Company and American Cruise Lines operating in the
United States, offering scenic routes along navigable rivers of states with
historic ports of call, the shore excursions allow day touring in-between
cruising days, providing uniquely American dining and entertainment, prices
vary according to season, booking well in advance is recommended, however, for
the traveler willing to wait less than a month before sailing there could be
last minute discounts for space cancellations.
Currently,
for Americans, Canada is a bargain destination due to the rise of the US Dollar
versus the lower Canadian Dollar—train travel in Canada can also be a low-cost
way to see the country’s wilderness that would be more difficult if not
impossible by car, also safety is not a huge worry, for the adventure inclined
tours exploring the Tobeatic Wildness in Nova Scotia, Niagara Falls unusual
tours, canoeing Toronto’s Stratford’s
Avon river, consult the Canadian tourism site for details.
Finally,
although safety could be an issue, travel to a major US city with a
do-it-yourself assembling the tour, rent an apartment or rent a room using one
of the innovative services could save some money—then assemble the airfare plus
ground components by using the online city tourism offices for site access
information, plus checking Orbitz, Expedia, or the online sites like Trivago to
access cheapest prices for airline plus hotel components, however, to travel
with a sleeping accommodation by train is expensive yet for some this avoids
the airport hassle.
