Travel Trends - Price Line's research team coined the term "town sizing," indicating a trend where consumers seek quieter destinations and hometown experiences in smaller markets [3][4] - While smaller markets gain traction, major entertainment hubs like Orlando, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, and San Diego remain popular [5][6] - Consumers prioritize summer vacations, adapting their travel patterns based on restrictions and costs [7] - Interest in longer vacations overseas, particularly to Asia (Japan) and Europe (Rome, Paris, London), continues into 2025 [8] - Travelers are exploring more affordable international destinations like Manila, Seoul, Prague, Istanbul, and Berlin, where five-star hotels can be found for under $200, and sometimes close to $100 per night [9][10] International Travel - Inbound travel to the US from Canada has decreased due to tariff policies, leading Canadians to seek alternative destinations like Mexico [11][12] - There has been a slight reduction in traffic coming into the US from Europe [13] Booking Tips - Flexibility in travel dates (shifting a day or two) can significantly reduce flight costs [14] - Price comparison and open-mindedness regarding destinations are recommended to find better deals [15] - Flight prices for overseas travel are favorable due to increased inventory [15][16] - Price Line offers products like Express Deals to help consumers find great value [17]

为啥越来越多房子,宁空不租呢?房东说出实情
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-05-03 08:10
首先,有些房东之所以不往外租房子,主要是为了留给自己住。或者是留给孩子住,抱着这样的目的,他们就会把买来的房子,进行精心装修, 要么是当做退休以后的养老房,要么就是给孩子当做婚房。当然装修费肯定要花不少钱。如果说把这样的房子给租出去的话,他们肯定是不愿 意,毕竟自己都还没有住。 第三个原因和租户有关。社会是一个大家庭,人的素质也是参差不齐,如果碰上素质高的租客,基本不会有什么问题,可要是租客的素质很低的 话,那么房东就可能要吃大亏。之所以这么说,是因为网上这样的例子比比皆是,比如说租客把房子转租给其他人,或者是私自更换门锁,对屋 里的设施进行破坏等,。这些行为都让房东伤透了心,也让他们不敢轻易的把房子租出去。所以说,房东宁愿把房子空着,也不往外租,由很多 因素导致。也并不是说他们放着到手的租金不去赚,而是有着自己的想法和顾虑。 有些人买房子是为了自己住,还有一些人是为了炒房,或者是租出去赚点租金。在这些人当中,把房子租出去的人,占了大多数。但是近几年 来,这种现象却是越来越少,很多房东情愿让房子空着,也不往外租。不仅自己赚不到租金,也造成了资源的浪费。那有朋友就感到好奇了,为 什么这些房东,放着到手的钱不赚呢 ...
