The latest hospitality statistics have shown that tourism around the world has been impacted by the current economic crisis.

Hotel occupancy rates and room rates are declining and the luxury segment of the market is being affected more than the “regular” market.

Cities which historically had top occupancy rates in the US such as New York, Orlando, Las Vegas and Miami have started to feel the heat and are reacting quickly.

Now, many hotel chains are offering free nights, free amenities or discounts. Vacation rental agencies, the cheapest alternative for travel, are also affected, albeit to a lesser degree. Nowadays, vacation home rentals are a great way to enjoy the best of smart travel.

Some websites are offering great discounts for even Paris vacation rentals or Miami Beach vacation rentals. Smart travelers should always ask for a discount. The worst that can happen is that the answer is “no.” On the other hand, they can get a cheap worldwide vacation rental rate.
