Summer is travel season, and with it comes a flood of opinions, advice, and assumptions. But not everything you hear is true — and believing some of these myths can actually cost you time, money, and missed opportunities.

At Abundant Excursions, we’re setting the record straight. Let’s bust some common travel myths and help you plan smarter.

MYTH 1: “Last-Minute Deals Are Always Cheaper”

While it’s possible to score a last-minute discount, it’s not the norm—especially during peak summer months. Flights and luxury accommodations often get more expensive the closer you get to your travel date.

The Truth:
Book early, especially for group travel and international destinations. You’ll have more choices and better pricing.

MYTH 2: “Summer Travel Is Just Too Crowded”

It’s true that some spots (like Paris, Rome, or Cancun) see big crowds in June and July, but not every destination is overrun. In fact, many beautiful places are still peaceful, relaxing, and welcoming this time of year.

The Truth:
Consider underrated gems like:

• Portugal’s Algarve coast (gorgeous beaches, fewer crowds) 
• Alaska cruises (breathtaking views and wildlife) 
• The Azores Islands (a lush, quiet slice of Portugal) 
• Belize (reef diving, rainforests, and ruins) 

MYTH 3: “All-Inclusives Are the Same Everywhere”

Not all all-inclusives are created equal. Some offer luxury villas, private chefs, and curated excursions, while others are more basic and crowded.

The Truth:
Let your travel advisor help you find high-end all-inclusive experiences that match your expectations — from private beachfront villas to boutique resorts in hidden locations.

🧳 Travel Smarter This Summer:

Here are quick tips to make the most of your summer getaway:

• Pack light and versatile clothing (especially for multi-climate trips) 
• Book excursions in advance (popular activities fill fast!) 
• Consider travel insurance for flexibility 
• Look into shoulder-season destinations (like late August or early September trips)
