AffordableTours.com Launches Value-Priced LeisureScapes Resort Vacation Packages

Stafford, TX (PRWEB) June 12, 2008

Travelers who want to escape the cold this fall and winter can vacation in sunny spots in Europe and Costa Rica on AffordableTours.com LeisureScapes vacations for as low as $79 a day. Value-packed pricing includes accommodations, transportation, daily breakfast, sightseeing, services of a tour director and more.

The relaxed itineraries feature resort stays in warm-weather destinations: southern coastal locations in Italy, Spain, Portugal and Croatia as well as tropical Costa Rica. Vacations range from 13 to 22 days, and the pace is relaxed.

A tour director or local host is on hand for participants throughout their trip, and city sightseeing tours or other excursions are included in each overnight locale.
