Cheap Charlies Cheapest Travel Now
Cheap Charlies has been very interested in the dynamics of the price of oil as Asia cheap travelers we are directly impacted, so at nearly $150 a barrel in July we were very concerned, now in November with the price per barrel heading towards $50 we are still concerned, but less so, especially if we have jobs to look forward to when we return from afar. Many employers now if you ask them for voluntary time off to go budget traveling in Asia or anywhere will grant it to you as a way to keep there experienced workers from being let go as they don’t have any expense to trim the payroll and they get to keep their trained staff for when they will need to increase staffing again after the downturn and you can look forward to having a job it is beneficial for everyone including your coworkers who might have been let go in front of you!
For the budget travelers that are looking to go traveling in the near future the good news is that if you have money to travel now is a great time to do it, as the tourism sector is the first that is impacted in a slowdown, and this one looks to be a dozy. If you are American you are doing better now as the dollar increases in value for the time being. For the British, Australians & Canadians the rise of the dollar seems to have been at their expense as those currancies are getting pummeled right now, but even with the value decreasing they still will enjoy some great deals.
With the exception of flights everything is going to get cheaper if you negotiate and there will be lots of availability, so having reservations will not be so critical. A guesthouse that is empty is going to think twice before letting you walk down the street to the next equally empty accommodation.
We also anticipate that cheap flights to Asia and Europe will start to appear as the airlines can only cut back so far or risk losing there important routes. Competition will increase to keep customers loyal, so expect to see more upgrades to frequent flyer programs and special deals in the short term.
So pack you bags and help everyone and go traveling now!
