Airbnb
So exactly what has been going on in the Travel Industry this year ? .Here are a few key impressions:
More competition between Airlines
Falling gas prices and diversifying air routes have coupled with more airlines in the marketplace to make it one of the best times to take air travel; cheap flights are many and varied.Long haul flights, in particular, are now looking very attractive.Just check out http://www.paylessflights.com for the best deals.
Wellness Retreats
The end of the year is probably the best time to relax, unwind, and prepare for new challenges. Consider a spa vacation, a health resort, or something with a twist; maybe a spiritual retreat in India or Thailand (learn some relaxation techniques, have a massage, try out some yoga or soak in an herbal bath) or a stress-reducing digital detox.
Independent Travel
According to recent independent research, just under 25% of travelers undertook a trip overseas alone last year. Solo travel is a wonderful way to explore the world and to meet lots of new people. Be prepared to become a master in sign language and pointing !. It is always best to plan your journey in some detail, gaining knowledge of local customs and do's and don'ts. A phrasebook can be a great start. For those thinking of jumping between locations, it may be useful to book your internal or in-between flights in advance.
Ride Sharing
Even Google is getting into the ride-sharing phenomena, thanks to the enormous popularity of car-pooling, ride-hailing, and apps for car service. Mobile phone apps have only made this possible in the past few years.
Group Tours
Many seasoned travelers would have recoiled in horror a few years ago, if a group tour had been suggested to them.The idea of being herded around while your fellow travelers maniacally take photos was a real turn off, but no longer.
Group tours are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Tour companies and guides know that offering exclusive access and insider information can make all the difference between a snooze-worthy, forgettable bus trip and an incredible, motivating, life-changing experience. Examples of which are many, here are a few: getting underneath Rome’s Colosseum, backcountry skiing in the Grand Tetons, wine tours in Provence and local history or battlefield tourism.
We offer cheap flights to many fascinating locations for History, culture and food and drink; for instance, Rome for the Coliseum, France for the vineyards and many beautiful chateaux, Naples for the ruins of Pompeii, and countless other sites. http://www.paylessflights.com
Road Tripping
The great thing about fly drive is that you can fly to one airport, mooch around by automobile for a few days and return from another location, having taken in all there is to see.
U.S. National Parks
With 412 parks, there is an incredible diversity of protected and stunning landscapes. Only an adventurous 44 people have visited all of them, though we are sure many more are trying. The National Parks Service is celebrating its 100th anniversary, why not go and help them celebrate ( for example 47 National Parks can be seen in one superb road trip).
Online Booking
Making travel reservations online (be it desktop or mobile) can save you time and money (50% of all bookings are now made this way).

Weekend Getaways
Our seven day a week, 24 hour a day society often gives us little time for that well-deserved break.So the long weekend has become an excellent way to score some 'me' time. The US and its neighbors, offer lots of readily available and well-priced short-break vacations; what about skiing in Colorado or a beach break in California. A three-day long weekend is becoming a sure fire way of avoiding a rush.
