Traveling to top tourist destinations during the summer and school breaks are sometimes associated with two words: crowded and expensive. If you feel this way, you may be pleased to know that planning your vacation in the off-season really can help alleviate both of those issues.
For a relaxing beach vacation minus the summer crowds, prime booking slots are in late September and early October. Traveling in the fall ensures that kids are back in school, summer travel crowds are gone and Labor Day has passed. Savvy travelers can save a load of money on off-season deals, choose the best destinations and protect themselves from unexpected weather and expenses—all important factors for creating a great fall vacation.
