Why you should start to plan your trips now"},"content":{"rendered":"

Should you start to book future trips? After a long period of staying at home, we look at the reasons anglers will need to start planning their future travel.<\/span><\/p>\n

With travel restrictions in almost every country in the world, and community quarantine keeping everyone at home, planning a trip can feel pointless.<\/p>\n

But the adventurer deep inside each and everyone of us yearns for a trip, to plan and dream about while stuck at home.<\/p>\n

Flexibility is a must<\/h2>\n

Booking trave<\/a>l now can feel iffy and risky but there are a lot of ways to secure great deals that offer customers flexibility and peace of mind.<\/p>\n

Soon borders will start opening, but a lot of businesses and operators are now accepting bookings and reservations up to a year or more in advance.<\/p>\n

With all these deals popping up here and there, there is plenty of reason to research and plan for your next 2021 or even 2022 adventure.<\/p>\n

Similar to our recent \u201cbook now, fish later<\/a>\u201d  program, there are plenty of great deals that give savvy travellers the opportunity to secure a deal of a lifetime.<\/p>\n

The Buy Now, Stay Later campaign hopes to provide a win-win for both travellers and hotels by selling what they call \u201chotel bonds<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The idea is you purchase a $100 bond now, and after sixty days it will mature into a $150 credit which you can use when you are able to travel again. This is a very attractive offer.<\/p>\n

The bond program helps hotels secure future reservations, and travellers get a great deal to claim when they’re ready to travel. Not all hotels are part of this program so make sure you check out their website to see if your favourite hotels are included in the list.<\/p>\n

A common sight is the term Risk-Free Reservations. This concept offers clients with special deals and more flexible travel policies like what we offer below.<\/p>\n
