Summer time is perfect for a family vacation, whether it’s a quick weekend getaway or a trip to explore the world. Linnea Iantria, instructor of geography at Missouri State University, has traveled the globe and offers tips for getting the most out of your travel funds.

“Always consider things like season and off-season,” Iantria said. “Hotel rates can be 50 to 75 percent less during the Caribbean’s off-season, for example. The same is true for Europe. You can have a great experience there in the wintertime.”

“Hot Topics – Expert Source” releases are a tool the office of university communications provides to assist media in locating a university source to comment on a particular subject or issue. The opinions expressed by the expert are those of a specific individual and are not necessarily representative of the views of the university.
