Recently a report surfaced that not every sector in this bleak economy is doing so terrible. In fact, the sector of retail dedicated to offering wholesale discounts to consumers is doing quite well. In turn, the travel sector, on masse, has seemed to copy this strategy and every day it appears that more and more travel related or industries dependent on travel and tourism are adopting this specific focus.
How glaringly obvious are some of these trends and how wide spread between type and geography? Well in Orlando you have the World famous Disney World Theme Park offering free night stays. Actually one specific deal is offering $400 off the price of a seven night stay if the package is booked for dates between February through the end of June 2009. In Pennsylvania Hershey Park is offering coupons for $15 entrance fees at the gate. Finally, at the world's largest aquarium in Atlanta, the Georgia Aquarium has stepped back entrance fees to last years prices, which is $27. As a matter of fact the Georgia Aquarium is offering an additional incentive, whereby if you visit once they will give you what is called a "bounce pass" which you can come back to the aquarium for the price of $15.
As you can see drastic times call for drastic measures. The deals keep popping up, and we'll keep our eye out for more and more of them as they develop.
