With the availability of cheap travel options, ranging from cheap airplane tickets to discount hotel rooms and cheap vacation packages, potential vacationers should consider locations within North America.
The following are places budget minded travelers should look into:
Houston Texas offers a mall with over 2 million square feet of shopping and 57, 000 acres of green space. Houston is the countrys fourth largest city and its hotel prices have fallen 5 percent since 09. It sports over 8,000 restaurants and budget minded visitors will find that the average meal out in Houston costs, $32.50 which is $2.50 lower than the national average. A Houston CityPASS provides entrance to six attractions, including Space Center Houston, Houston Aquarium and Museum of Fine Arts for only $39, which is half the price of comparable offers in other major cities. Ideal months to visit are April, May, October, and November.
The Gulf Coast has over 1,600 miles of pristine white sand shoreline and the average daily rate at local hotels has dropped between 12 to 43 percent since 09 because of the oil spill scare. Floridas Panama City Beach enjoys 320 rain free days per year and is even easier to fly into thanks to a new airport which opened last May. April and May are the best months to visit before summer humidity becomes a problem.
Jamaica is one of the most affordable Caribbean destinations. Deals are expected to get even better with the opening last December of a new international airport and 3,000 new hotel rooms. Jamaica now enjoys more direct flights from the U.S. than any other Caribbean island. Best bargains and weather can be found in late April, and early December.
Banff Alberta Canada is located in Albertas Rockies and is acknowledged as having some of North Americas finest ski slopes, as well as hot springs, bike trails, and golf courses. Cheap lift ticket prices have not gone up since 2007. Park entry only costs $10. Skiing enthusiasts should visit in April when runs are less packed and the sun stays out for 12 hours. September is ideal for hikers and bikers when aspen trees are at their best.
