Mexico is attractive as a travel destination this year for several reasons. The dollar is especially strong against the peso. It hasn't been this strong in 15 years. Hotels, resorts and flights to Mexico are more vacant than usual because of the recent swine flu scare. It turns out that you are just as likely to catch swine flu at home as you are in Mexico. Of course, Mexico is also close to home. This makes transportation cheap. Mexico has a well developed tourism industry and they are hungry for visitors now. As winter approaches, those warm Mexican destinations will start looking better and better. Margaritas anyone?

Thailand has long been a favorite of vagabond backpackers and bargain seeking travelers. It is a warm and inviting nation full of cultural splendors and a friendly population. Even in these difficult economic times, Thailand is a bargain. The US dollar remains strong against the Thai baht. Hotels, food and entertainment have always been plentiful and cheap. Thailand is full of ancient temples, bustling street markets and sumptuous places to dine. The Thai people welcome travelers with open arms. There have never been a better time to accept their invitation to visit.

Winter is the perfect time to plan for a summer in Europe. By spring, airplane reservations fill up and tickets get more expensive. If you book now, you can grab relatively good prices and have many flight options. The economy might be struggling and the dollar might be weak, but there are some European travel deals out there. Check out London and Iceland. We featured both destinations earlier this week on the eHow Destinations Topic Page.
