More incentives for summer travel

Fuel prices run wild have not only raised concerns with travellers, but business that depend on the summer tourist season for their bread and butter must find ways to make things even more enticing for travellers this year who are cautious like never before.

For the scrupulous researcher, this means that despite gas prices hitting record highs, some potentially very sweet deals are gong to be floating around. Many hotels are already posting 2nd night free deals, or offering the free use of a rental car during the stay in their hotel. Not a bad add-on in these ‘gas as precious as gold’ times.

One way to get the lowest price on a holiday is to take the risk of a last-minute booking and be flexible on your destination. Some recent offers on the web include bookings on hotels.com that include a $50 gas voucher if the trip is booked before July 6th. On the bedandbreakfast.com site, over 150 properties are including gas vouchers from $25 to $50.
