All of this comes as good news since travel experts said there’s an advantage for booking travel plans in August.
According to NBC News, studies show resorts and hotels are offering bargains for late summer vacationers due to the demand dropping.

“It’s really not too hard to do I mean a staycation.. just go down the road and try something new, book a resort nearby and have a fun weekend away from home,” said Maxwell.
Experts add it might be smart to stay clear of cruising the Caribbean in August due to the high risks of hurricanes. As well as staying in Europe due to airline tickets which increase this month.
