How do you find these top solo travel deals? First, find spots with least demand. Consider our six tips listed below.
How to Save on Solo Travel Going Off-Season: Tip One: 1. Cities:
- How can you find deals in large cities?
- Look for top deals when business travel is light. In NYC, many hotels drop rates Friday nights. Why is this? Businessmen leave on weekends. (In New York, rates may go up Saturday nights for weekend arrivals.)
How to Save on Solo Travel Going Off-Season: Tip Two: 2. Europe:
- Rome and Paris are key spots. However, when it gets cold, tourists stay home.
- To save, see Europe’s museums and indoor sites in the cold.
- When it rains or is cold, you can still view the Old Masters.
- You can tour old ruins year round. The cold is no problem.
- One good thing? There are small crowds. It is better to see sights then.
- Know when it is cold, prices will drop way down by 40% to 50%!
How to Save on Solo Travel Going Off-Season: Tip Three: 3. Too hot or cold!
Mark Twain said: “The coldest winter I ever saw was the summer I spent in San Francisco.”
What does this mean for you?
If tourists think the weather is bad, you will find top solo travel deals!
Tales of hurricanes are in the news in the fall. How does that help your trip’s price? Those bad reports bring prices way down! Here are some key things to consider:
- Most tourists go home by the fall. That doesn’t mean that the weather is not good in the early fall. Travelers may have to go to work or school.
- There are 3 islands thought to avoid hurricanes. They are Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao. They may have good deals. Why? Tourists may group them with islands hit most by storms.
- Look at less well known spots. Some thoughts? Anguilla, Barbuda and St. Eustatius. As small islands, they are missed. That can mean a real deal for solo travel.
- South Florida still has sun late in the year. (North Florida is much cooler. Check the weather there before you book.)
- Las Vega is in the desert. As a result, that provides many options. You can sit by the pool. You can work on your tan. Another thought? See the Grand Canyon. If you are want to try another idea, you can take a day tour of the Hoover Dam.
- Think about Croatia, Greece and the Mediterranean Islands. They have sunshine plus great history.
- Think about South America. Also think of Mexico’s “Mayan Riviera”. It has sun and sites to see all year. One of the top spots is Costa Rica. It has rainforests and beaches. They are even better when they have no crowds off-season. There is much wild life to view, too.
How to Save on Solo Travel Going Off-Season: Tip Four: 4. Safaris:
- Why is off-season a deal? Wildlife parks have entrance fees. They reduce their fees off-season. In addition, the airfares are down until the holidays. You may find even better weather. Africa sounds hot. I went on safari in South Africa in a winter coat!
How to Save on Solo Travel Going Off-Season: Tip Five: 5. Ski resorts pre-season:
