The Benefits of Off-Season Travel
The off season tends to be the black sheep of travel – it’s the time of year in between peak “tourism times”, when you’ve missed the best weather or after a holiday/prominent festival
Too often, people miss out on traveling to a new country and exploring a region because they assume they will encounter less than ideal weather conditions
Obviously, you wouldn’t want to explore Mount Kilimanjaro in 104 degree heat or trek through excessive snow in the Alps; however, for the most part, traveling during the off-season is generally the way to go
Your Wallet Will Thank You
You get the most bang for your buck during the off-season. Hotels, airline companies, and even restaurants lower their prices
You’ll be able to book rooms at as much as 50 percent off the usual cost and flights will leave you wondering why you didn’t consider off season traveling earlier
Keep in mind, the money you save on travel and lodging can go towards souvenirs and fancy dinners.
No CrowdsThere is nothing wrong with tourists (especially seeing that you yourself are one), but during the off-season you get to experience paradise on your own
You don’t have to wake up before dawn to secure a spot on the beach or call weeks in advance to schedule a tour
You get to experience the must-see sites in your own time and discover the area through the eyes of a local.
Great WeatherI know, this sounds like a hypocritical statement. The peak season tends to have the best weather (as mentioned above), which is why everybody travels during this time
However, these days the weather is so temperamental that even during the so-called peak season, you may end up finding yourself in a torrential downpour
So who is to say that the peak season is in fact the best season to travel? Even if you travel during the rainy season of a specific country, it doesn’t typically rain 24/7 and the sun may even shine the entire time, so travel when you want to don’t let the weather define your vacation.
