Free Deals on Vacations - It's a Reality Believe it or Not

The promise of a free vacation used to be such a predictable come-on from a shady timeshare salesman or a questionable travel club, that all but the most gullible travelers ignored it.

Free isn't just a legitimate goal for your next trip. It might be a realistic one, too.

The travel industry knows it. The major American destinations didn't wait for the National Bureau of Economic Research to declare the U.S. economy in a recession before releasing their lists of free things to do around town. Did you know, for example, that the Port of Houston Authority offers a free 90-minute cruise along the Houston Ship Channel? Or that The Indianapolis Museum of Art, one of the top art museums in the country, always offers free admission?

Can travel companies do better? They're trying. It all depends what your definition of "free" is. There's an abundance of two-for-one offers, but they require that you spend money.
