What used to cost the average American $25 to $30 for a full tank
of gas has climbed upwards to the $50 range. This and other economic
pressures have vacationers questioning whether or not they can
afford to take a family vacation this summer. While this has not
affected everyone the same worldwide, there is an international
aspect to look at. Europeans may find it less expensive to travel
to the States since the Euro has gained in value compared to the
dollar. That’s wonderful of course, but for marketers in
the vacation rental industry who are accustomed to targeting specific
groups of people in the United States, there may not be enough
time to reach those European neighbors in time for this season.
Many
local businesses have come together to try and ease the economic
situation that many American families are now faced with by offering
rebates, gift cards, discounts, and incentives. Gas cards have
become a popular way of saying “thank you” for patronage
and a way of helping out our fellow man.
Seaside
Vacations, a family owned and operated business, places
a great deal of value on family and strongly believes that the
time families spend together on vacation is far too significant
to give up. In an effort to make a summer family vacation more
affordable for those hit hard by gas prices, we have drastically
lowered our rates on ALL summer weeks. No specials, no gimmicks;
just a rate reduction across the board. In addition to those savings,
we have also teamed with local businesses to offer our guests
exclusive gift certificates and coupons totaling over $300 for
area attractions, dining, and more. We have the best interest
of the family at heart at Seaside Vacations.
Let us help you find your place in the sun!
