Travel gurus predict trends for 2010
The travel gurus are reading their crystal balls for the new year, and here are some of their predictions.
From Travelocity.com's Genevieve Shaw Brown:
• Airfares are going up, but hotel rates are going down.
• Resorts in popular destinations dependent on air travelers - Caribbean, Hawaii - will be particularly good values.
• All-inclusive resorts will gain popularity with budget-conscious travelers.
• Booking early is the best way to get the lowest airfare. Capacity cuts means airlines have more pricing power than 2009.
• Vacation packages will be the best overall value. Hotels are not keen to lower their standalone rates, but will do so as part of a package. Travelers who bundle flight and hotel will save the most.
