People always ask me if the present economic environment is having an affect on the travel habits of our customers specifically and all consumers in general. I am not an economist but generally when times are tough, people spend less money. Spending less, however, doesn’t necessarily mean not traveling at all, it means finding a place to purchase your travel that gives you a better value at the end of the day. This plays right into the heart of what we do at Skyauction.com. Our entire being is cemented around the idea of value for money spent. Providing the best value is what we are all about and what we strive for each and everyday of our existence.

If you are interested in a good value, the offers presently running for Almond Beach Resorts in the Caribbean are some of the best I have seen in a while. They are well positioned on two beautiful islands, Barbados and St. Lucia, both of which are very popular right now and if you bid on these all-inclusive stays, I know you are going to get a deal that would impress the most prudent amongst us!

For those who don’t know me, I am Michael N. Hering, a founder, investor, CEO and President of SkyAuction.com.  My background goes way back in the travel industry to my college days when I was posting flyers on College Campus promoting “Europe for the Poor! Just $75.00!”  Even back then I was working hard to bring real travel value to all of those struggling students who just needed to get away.  I would like to think that in some way I helped them to relax and come back to school and to go on to academic greatness, or at least to have a really good time.  Either way, I am still in the game, and I am still doing all I can to bring all of you the best deals I can find for travel and I am still enjoying myself.

SkyAuction.com was conceived in 1998 and launched in February 1999. It’s hard to believe that we are now in our 10th year of business.
