Sadly, Covid-19 has impacted the travel and hospitality industry perhaps more than any other.  International borders have been closed in many countries and those travelers allowed to enter are subjected to quarantine.  Whatever your destination, it is advised you check with the local government websites to find out what travel restrictions might apply to your visit.

The airlines have cut back the number of flights everywhere.  The cruise industry has all but shut down.  Many hotels have closed their doors while others operate on a limited basis.  Restaurants and entertainment venues have also been closed or limited in many areas.

For those of us who love to travel, Covid-19 is forcing its new normal on us and I’m not sure the travel industry will recover for many years.

There are many things you can do to influence your trip such as when you book, how you travel, whether you go package or build your own agenda. All of these things can have a significant impact on the price you pay, and each of these things are within your control!

More and more people are finding it convenient to fly to their destinations.
Whether a family vacation or a business trip, air travel has become an important aspect of every trip today. Air travel is the quickest, safest and the most convenient way to travel. People are so busy in their day to day routine that they prefer to spend the least amount of time traveling. The boom in the airline industry has also made plane travel well within budget for all.

How to Save on your hotel reservations.
There are ways that an ‘expensive’ hotel can actually prove to be a cheaper expense than staying at the ‘discount’ hotel. When comparing hotel rates, look at the whole package. Oftentimes, the more costly hotel has included services in their rates that will reduce spending in other areas. For instance, are any meals included in the rate? There may be a continental breakfast or a whole buffet available. Additionally, there may be special deals for seniors or children. Depending on the hotel’s location, you may have to rent a car to move around town. Or, the hotel may provide a shuttle service to and from the airport or nearby amusement parks, which will save you money on gas and parking fees.

To simply save money on room rates, make your reservation as soon as possible. If possible, be flexible about your travel plans. The best rates will be found during the off-season and other times when the hotel tends to have empty rooms. Business hotels will have discounts on the weekends, while resorts will have specials during the week.

You can sometimes save big on your hotel if you call the hotel that you want to stay at on the day that you intend to arrive, or possibly the day before. Hotels will often be prepared to offer substantial discounts on the day, as from their point of view an empty room is a complete waste of money. If you are not feeling quite so bold in terms of leaving it until the last minute, you can phone the hotel a few days in advance.

If you are targeting a specific hotel, check out their cancellation policy. For example, if a specific hotel requires at least 3 days notice to not charge for a cancellation, then this is the point where they are most likely to receive the most cancellations. Hotels will then be eager to fill these spaces.
