Top 5 Reasons You Must Book Travel NOW
Carol Wolniakowski
We are all eager to start traveling again, but when should we start making reservations? The answer is RIGHT NOW. Whether planning a road trip this fall, a holiday river cruise or an international trip next year, here are five reasons to book travel ASAP:
1. Fall 2020 is heating up. This is especially true for domestic trips and destinations that allow for social distancing. For example, Triple Creek Ranch, the luxury retreat in Montana, is fully booked through mid-fall. Whether you are thinking of harvest in wine country, autumn colors in national parks or holidays on the beach, the time to book is now.
2. Availability for 2021 is limited. Those who had a trip planned in 2020 have rescheduled for next year, leaving fewer spots open. Travelers are also confident about traveling in 2021 and eager to get something on the books. River cruise line AmaWaterways has seen such an increased demand that they are releasing 2022 itineraries six months earlier than planned. If you delay, you risk missing out on the best choices or missing out all together.
3. Low risk. Hotels, airlines, cruises and tour companies are all offering generous cancellation policies, refundable deposits and future travel offers. If you place a deposit today, you have little to no risk should you change your mind in the future.
4. Travel suppliers are offering fantastic deals. Take advantage of discounts and extra perks that are available for a limited time. At the end of this article, you will find a sampling of fabulous current offers.
5. Mental health! Research proves that the mere act of planning travel boosts your mood nearly as much as the travel itself. In fact, a 2010 study published in the journal Applied Research in Quality of Life noted that just planning or anticipating your trip can make you happier than actually taking it. We all know that looking forward to something is half the fun. And let’s face it, we all need something great to look forward to!
