While some air and hotels prices will rise for summer travel, there may be discounts in restaurant specials, travel vacation packages and local staycation offers.

A growing option is vacation packages, offered by travel agencies like Southwest Airline Vacations and Travelocity as a way to fill empty rooms and seats.

More people are now looking for cheaper vacation packages that bundle air flight, hotel, car rentals into one price. Some companies include dining and amusement credits.

The Entertainment Magazine travel and vacation section contains dozens of destination guides for cities throughout the US, and some global destinations, with information and links to travel news, coupons and other discounts.
