New Vacation Rental Website Provides Travel Planning Tips and Cost-Effective
Lodging Options
DALLAS, March 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- A group of old college friends
are planning a reunion and want to rent a house big enough for all of them; a
bride is orchestrating a surprise getaway for herself and her bridesmaids --
she sees them all in a townhouse for a long weekend; a father is putting
together a fishing trip with his sons and grandsons -- he wants a lake front
condominium.
People have been traveling in groups since the beginning of time; the
methods of travel have changed but the basic reasons remain unaltered --
security and comfort. http://www.VacationSpot.com, the new vacation rental
website powered by Hotels.com, is designed to meet the needs of families and
groups looking for vacation accommodations that will keep them all together,
comfortable and not break the bank.
"People like to travel in groups because of the memories they create and
camaraderie that takes place, said Group Therapist Emily Rudenick, LPC. "The
experience of traveling in a group with friends or family is liberating and
reassuring. The group knows one another and the act of spending time together
during a period of rest and relaxation is nurturing to the soul."
According to Reunions Magazine, about 200,000 family reunions take place
in the United States each year with an average of 50 people per reunion. That
translates to 10 million people planning their vacations in-group situations.
With summer quickly approaching, families and groups of friends may be
planning vacations and http://www.VacationSpot.com provides these tips for
planning a group vacation:
VacationSpot.com Tips for Group/Family Travel
1. Know your group -- what are their likes/dislikes
2. Be flexible with your travel dates
3. Allow plenty of time for planning -- coordinating a trip for five or
15 takes time to coordinate schedules and secure the right
accommodation
4. To ensure that your whole family has a good time, make sure to keep
plans flexible and take plenty of rest breaks
5. Include the kids in the planning, it will make them feel like a real
part of the vacation process
VacationSpot.com provides a one-stop shop for groups looking for the right
accommodations when planning their vacations by offering the most
comprehensive database of rental properties whether looking for a long weekend
or a long month away. Groups can choose and book from among thousands of
condos, bed & breakfasts, private homes, and villas that offer multiple
bedrooms and bathrooms, recreation rooms, fully equipped kitchens, private
pools, hot tubs and outdoor grills. Group travel has never been easier or
more affordable than through http://www.VacationSpot.com .
"Groups really benefit financially from vacation rentals because the per
person cost is considerably less than that of traditional lodging," said Dan
Proctor, vice president of vacation rentals for VacationSpot.com. "Even a
one-bedroom condo typically sleeps 4 persons comfortably and the added space
and amenities allow everyone the luxury of together and alone time."
