Why Travel Now?

March 6, 2009 · Filed Under Articles · Comment 

Why would anyone choose to travel now instead of the summer travel season? I my self have just gotten back from Istanbul and could easily tell one of the reasons. There is simply no one there. That means by it self several things. For a start it means the city is less crowded, and so are the main tourist attractions. Isn’t it disappointing when you spend thousands of dollars to visit some historic or main attraction, only to be blocked and time wasted by the heavy crowd infront of you? Not only do you enjoy more freedom when traveling now, but you will have less headache in all your ticket, bookings, tour reservations, as they’re likely hunting for customers. We basically booked in the early morning for a hotel pick-up tour that starts at 8:30 AM.

Another reason is, less demand means less price. You are likely to get better rates for all your travel expenses, thus saving extra. The only drawback for people who hate it is the cold winter season. For me it’s an added value actually.

The Independent Traveler have compiled a more detailed list of 10 reasons why it is wise to travel now. What’s your preference?

12 ways for discounted rates

March 5, 2009 · Filed Under News · Comment 

Newsday have published an article showing 12 ways you go out for discounted travel rates, saving you some of the extra burden. Some of my favorite tips in short are:

  • Check sites compiling travel deals, perhaps even subscribe for their newsletter.
  • Check with big travel sites for hot offers and deals
  • Check for discounted tours and cruises.
  • Work backward. See what’s a good and cost-effective destination rather than seek offers for pre-determined destination. You never know where you could end up and see.

And then, I would also add to the list using hotel and ticket comparison sites, such as our 7ojozat.com for hotels, and Mobissimo, dohop, or Fly.com for air ticket price.

For the 12 tips in details, see Newsday.

Is this the best year to visit Disneylands?

February 23, 2009 · Filed Under Attractions, destinations, News · 1 Comment 

With recent news about more layoffs at Disney after their parks recorded 24% fall in profits in the first quarter, economists are not overlooking the possibilities of more layoffs for character and custodian employees, despite Disney assuring their jobs are safe. This makes a traveler wonder if it’s the best year to visit some of Disney theme parks, despite the likely lower cost, one could tell this drop in price might come at a cost.

Do you expect your kids to see the same number of characters, and would the characters be up with high spirits when they know their job is at stake. Something to think about before deciding.
