Top Five Summer Savings Destinations


Australia

The summer travel season is coming up. You could spend hours online researching different locations or you can check out Travelzoo's top five summer savings destinations for 2010. Here they are:

Australia and New Zealand: Travelzoo deal experts have seen an increase in affordable airfare and vacation packages to both destinations, especially for May through August, which is winter Down Under. No need to pack a parka, though, as the average July temperature for Cairns, Australia is 78 degrees Fahrenheit and for Auckland, New Zealand is 59 degrees Fahrenheit. Demand in winter is lower, resulting in better deals. For example, Travelzoo recently published a 6-night Australia and New Zealand package for travel April through June, including air and hotel, for $999 per person.

The Bahamas: Quick and affordable flights make the Bahamas a perfect destination for a weekend beach getaway. Since summer is shoulder season for the Bahamas, an influx of aggressive airfare, cruise and vacation deals makes this string of 700 islands easily accessible and affordable for travelers looking for a quick and sunny weekend escape.Read more
