Another day, and another pi.jpgle of news stories about the challenges facing the travel industry. But what's considered challenging for the industry, should be looked at as an opportunity for travellers! 

If you are currently undecided about where, when, and if, you will travel this fall, be advised that as a travel consumer, there is no better time to find great deals on airfare and accommodations. 

The fall is traditionally a quiet time of year for the travel industry, after the busy summer travel season, but couple that with this year's global recession, and what you've got is travel deals extraordinaire!!

The travel industry usually pi.jpgcks up in the winter, as many people flock to warmer climates to beat the cold weather at home. (remember that much of the world's population lives in the cold north) 

If you are considering a trip this fall season, there's no better time to find a great deal on airfare or hotels. Tourist attractions are also a little less busy this season, making the experience even more enjoyable.
