Hostels & Hostelling
The preponderance of travel in the late 20th century, for purposes of both business and recreation, has led to a thriving travel industry that offers everything from convenient air travel to easily planned hotel or motel accommodations. For those on a tight budget, however, traditional hotels and travel arrangements may be out of the question. For such travelers, a hostel may be the perfect low cost solution. Often seen as the favorite lodging of young people traveling or exploring foreign lands, hostels host many budget-conscious travelers each year, making it possible for everyone to travel and to gain access to a warm bed and meals.
