By Carol Campbell


Whether going on a domestic or international business trip or family vacation, it can often be expensive. While this is the case, a Travel Club Subscription can often cut the price of a trip in half. In other cases, budget minded individuals can often find discounts and plan a vacation without having to pay the dues which most of these organizations charge on an annual basis.

At the same time, many of these type clubs have a lot to offer when it comes to discounts. Regardless of the type of discount, most are often substantial. As such, the first step to selecting a club is knowing which mode of travel will be desired on a regular basis.

Whereas, local travel clubs such as AAA can often a great deal of discounts on everything from hotel rooms and car rentals to cruise and theme park discounts. Being one of the most popular clubs due to the protection AAA offers drivers, it is often popular among home bodies and those who travel for work and play. For, while there are many discounts, membership dues are often low in comparison to other offerings.

One of the most popular clubs, especially among college students is that of Dream Vacations. For, the club offers great discounts on domestic and international trips and tours. As such, exchange students and others often find the discounts very beneficial during Spring and Summer breaks. While this is the case, the club has also become attractive to luxury and world wide travelers whom can afford the fees and travel associated with membership.

Whether looking for a domestic or international club, most are based on the subscription business model. For, all generally require annual fees or dues before one can purchase discounted tickets, trips or tours. Based on the original business model of magazine and newspaper subscription plans, there are now subscriptions in a number of different areas.

When it comes to condominium and housing, there remains some debate as to whether fees associated in these areas are based on this business model. For, while there is no doubt that home and hotel based time-shares qualify, those whom only use a home as a primary residence often prefer to think of home ownership agency fees as part and parcel to home ownership rather than being a subscription.

With the current growth and development of newer clubs, it is often advised that interested individuals compare pricing, subscription fees, services and read a variety of reviews before signing a contract or making payment. For, while some have amazing deals, others are just out to make as much money without any concern for the type of service being offered in return.

While these organizations can often be a good option for some travelers, those living on limited income, retirees and students may also want to check out discounts offered by airlines, bus and train companies and hotels on an individual basis. For example, in the United States, Greyhound, Amtrak and many hotels offer discounted rates to students and senior citizens.
