Travel industry slump may not head off price hikes
Fares and rooms down, but rates edging up for the summer
There are some advantages, though, to the economy downturn in the travel industry. While some prices will rise, there may be discounts in restaurant specials, travel vacation packages, local staycation offers and discount in admissions to tourist attractions and entertainment. Smaller companies may better adapt in many cases by lowering prices to drawn in business.
A growing option is vacation packages, offered by travel agencies like Southwest Airline Vacations 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.
