Clark Howard's Tips
May 13, 2008
Are you shell-shocked by the weak dollar and looking for alternatives to expensive travel destinations?
Forbes has some suggestions both at home and abroad. As the old saying goes, "When a door closes, a window opens." Below are a few of their picks:
• Thinking about Barcelona? Try Buenos Aires instead.
• Looking at Italy? Consider Portugal.
• Want to sip wine in Napa? Get your vintage on at Santa Ynez Valley.
• Headed to Dubai? Visit Jordan instead.
• Eager to relax in Hawaii? Go to Barbados.
• Phuket breaking your budget? Look at coastal Vietnam.
• Prague too expensive? Warsaw is cheap!
For domestic travel, this is going to be a year of deals on hotel stays. The hotel business has overbuilt and created too much inventory. On top of that, people are staying home for "staycations." So look for bargains on Hotwire and Priceline.
