Rural Tourists Smell Their Own Roses, Win-Win Ahead
There is an old bromide that says 'life begins when you find what you have, not what you don't have...' More than 50,000 farms are now making signficant income from agri-tourism, long a staple of cash flow in European countries. Opportunity comes for both rural areas and more urbanized patrons as well. With tickets for event prices nuts, try some good cheap local fun, out on a farm, at a rural fair. Go "smell the roses" in your smaller towns that each have great history and undiscovered things that could beat your best memory of a vacation. Day trips are back in vogue, and low cost hotels are being built to dense levels. The "over $100" hotels are becoming extinct, and we'll more likely consult the Internet than a travel agent today. More and more "tourism" is developing near home. Start looking at what you can do to help make it happen. Go on a few junkets you may have never considered inside the magic 100 mile circle of the day trip, and you will be rewarded in many ways.
AIRFARE OPPS--Having shrunk the fleet, most airlines have leveled the playing field as 2010 fall plans unfold. Expect bag fees to be imposed, or fees abated for elite travelers and promotions. The "bags fly free" notion could derail greed, but some think it is still better than fuel surcharges. All these show the unstable model airlines work off of, and it is so complex most insiders can't explain it. In the end of day for this industry it can only survive with efficiency and full planes, better training of crews and staff. Safety issues rear their ugly heads from time to time, but generally the system is making strides in saftey. New rules governing crew fatigue should also help morale and safety for 2011. Knowledge and preplanning using the Internet has no equal. Use it, save money and time, and enjoy your travel and tourism...
