Choosing the right vacation season can be as critical as choosing the right package when it comes to saving money. Bargain hunters should be aware of when a particular destinations shoulder season is. Travel agents define shoulder season as the time before and after a tourist area’s peak season.

One source for determining an area’s shoulder season is guidebooks. While they will not specifically define a shoulder season, they will give an indication of when the low and peak seasons are. While bargain shopping can produce good deals during a popular destinations low season, one can never expect to find a cheap deal during its peak season. Some vacation spots may have great deals during a low season, yet a few months later during the peak season a great deal may be impossible to find. .
