Travellers Booking Earlier
July 24, 2008. When it comes to luxury vacation rentals, airplane tickets and other travel reservations, many people are booking earlier this year than in years past. The trend was identified this week in the New York Times "Practical Traveler" column.
The reporter found many hospitality and leisure companies that reported booking up to 18 months in advance, and other operators that were rushing out pamphlets and packages to capitalize on the extra-prepared market. According to the article, it was a win-win situation for consumers and businesses alike - the former who often receive a discount, and the latter who can secure some certainty about their future cashflow.
As more and more travelers choose to rent homes and condos over hotels and motels, much of the most prime real estate could be going faster than before. Perhaps now is the best time to snag a slope-side condo in Utah for the winter of 2010.
