Vacation Rentals Stack up Well in Budget Travel Tips
The good news is that the most rewarding travel experiences remain affordable. In other words, it is still possible to travel well on a budget.
This is the conclusion of Alex Halperin in an article in Business Week Online. He gives five travel tips in his article on how to plan a great vacation without breaking the bank.
In his first tip, “Don’t be in such a hurry�, he quotes Pauline Kenny, who runs slowtrav.com, a site that helps people find short-term vacation rentals. The idea is to spend your time growing familiar with a single place, instead of hotel-hopping among various locales. He points out that vacation rentals are a good way to save mone because buying food in grocery stores costs less than eating every meal in a restaurant. “And many a foodie can pass a morning hunting for local ingredients in farmers' markets. No matter your budget, rentals are often cheaper than hotel rooms, and you can save further by sharing a space with friends�.
Halperin’s obsevations are in line with what we have always emphasized about our own vacation rentals. People get to know the area a lot better by using our rentals as a base for day trips to a variety of local attractions, as well as eating at economical local restaurants or preparing meals in the kitchens in our rentals.
