Bellevue, Wash. \u2013 August 25, 2003 \u2013 As the summer days grow shorter and autumn draws near, many popular warm weather destinations head into “low season,” which means hotel and airfare deals are plentiful, summer crowds are a dim memory and opportunities “to live as the locals do” abound. Savvy vacationers can reap the benefits of low season by taking advantage of Expedia.com\u00ae’s air and hotel deals to locations like Hawaii, Mexico and Europe.<\/p>\n

“During off season airlines, hotels and tour operators extend great money-saving offers,” said Teri Franklin, product manager for Expedia.com. “With Expedia.com’s dynamic packaging capabilities, travelers have all the ingredients they need to build an affordable, customized trip to the world’s most sought-after vacation spots.”<\/p>\n

For bargain hunters, low season can offer deep discounts off average travel rates for popular warm-weather destinations. Travelers yearning for the white sands of Mexico will enjoy great rates on air and hotel packages to the country’s top destinations, plus free upgrades at many properties and savings of up to 20 percent off of Expedia’s regular prices on select destination activities. Vacationers who prefer the romantic old-world charm of Europe or the lush tropics of Hawaii can take advantage of savings beyond the already-low rates with Expedia.com’s exclusive vacation packages for fall travel.<\/p>\n

Beyond tremendous savings, traveling during the off-peak season has many benefits. Travelers will likely find beaches and pools to be less crowded, restaurants and shops nearly void of tourists, atmospheric old cities quiet and peaceful and popular destination attractions free of lengthy wait times. In some locations, the low tourism season coincides with the height of the cultural season, allowing travelers a unique chance to experience the true essence of local customs.<\/p>\n

When planning a low season excursion, travelers can also take advantage of Expedia.com’s extensive online travel guides for many popular destinations. By utilizing Expedia’s comprehensive resources, travelers can search for the perfect vacation by accessing maps, slide shows, weather listings, attractions and activities available at various hot spots.
