Arthur Frommer Promises to Keep Digging up the Deals

The guidebook author/publisher-turned-blogger takes a hard look at the latest travel numbers and trends, and concludes that while overall travel is down, “nearly 90% of all Americans are continuing to travel. And when they do, they are seeking bargains and values beyond all else.” He goes on: “Though some have criticized this blog for its alleged over-emphasis on special deals and discounts, we’re going to continue to make those discoveries a hallmark of our content.”

Well, consider me a fan of that alleged over-emphasis—Frommer’s blog is a great source for must-act-fast cruise, flight and hotel deals, and sure enough, here’s his latest bargain find: a set of $750 round-trip flights from the U.S. to Australia and New Zealand.


Canada: It’s Cheap Again!

Arthur Frommer points out that with everyone watching Europe’s two heavyweight currencies draw closer to parity, some other currency shifts have gone unnoticed. “We’ve been so focused on the Euro and the Pound,” he writes, “that most of [us] have failed to notice that the currencies of Canada and Mexico have plunged in value.” After rising to par last year, the Canadian dollar has dropped back to $1.25 per 1 US dollar, while in Mexico a single American dollar will now net you 14 pesos. The lesson here for American travelers? Head North. Or South. Either way, as Frommer says, “you now enjoy a bonanza.”
