Getting The Most From Your Fall Travel Dollar
(NAPSI)—From smaller crowds
and lower prices to a bounty of
festivals and beautiful seasonal
foliage, there are many reasons
to vacation in the fall.
For example, those who want to
catch the changing leaves at their
peak have fantastic choices
across the U.S., from Eastern hot
spots such as Vermont, Maine
and Tennessee to California in
the West. There are even
websites they can go to that can
help them track
the best times
to visit each
destination.

An added benefit of fall travel is
that most destinations are not as
crowded in the fall, allowing you
to spend less time waiting on
lines and more time exploring
and enjoying the time spent
away.
This can make it a great time to
visit Southeastern beaches,
popular national parks or
monuments, and must-see cities
all across the country. With all
the options for fall travel, it is

Festivals To
Choose From
In addition to
autumn’s
natural beauty,
many
destinations
come alive
with weekly or
daily festivals
celebrating
everything
from apple
harvests to
local music and
independent
films. There
are also
Oktoberfest celebrations and the
wild pastime of the Punkin
Chunkin, where competing
teams use custom-built machines
to launch pumpkins up to a mile.
Again, there are great options for
both families and couples, and
many destinations offer
numerous events to help make
your trip fun and memorable.
Less Time Spent Waiting

smart to plan ahead and book
early to ensure you get the best
prices and accommodations.
Another great reason to travel in
the fall is that many airlines
begin to lower airfares, making it
more affordable to travel.
Lodging often comes down in
price as well, with many
locations providing healthy
discounts to attract guests.
Add Value To Your Dollar

Another way to increase the
value of your travel dollar is by
staying in a vacation ownership
resort, also known as timeshare.
For travelers who want to see all
that the country offers, vacation
ownership can be a great way to
guarantee a yearly vacation to
their favorite destinations
These resorts typically provide
more space than a traditional
hotel and also offer homelike
conveniences such as a kitchen,
living room,
multiple
bedrooms, and a
washer and
dryer.
And through
vacation
exchange
companies such
as RCI, owners
can gain access
to nearly 4,500
resorts in more
than 100
countries. Those
wanting to
sample the
timeshare
experience
before buying
can do so by
booking a stay at
vacation resorts
through sites such as Endless
Vacation Rentals
(www.EVRentals.com).
With so many cost-saving
benefits available during the fall,
you may opt to visit a destination
you couldn’t otherwise afford.
Or perhaps, the savings you
receive may allow you to plan an
additional vacation in another
season as well.
