With the Canadian dollar hitting a ten year low this month. Travelers may not be as eager to head south of the border for their vacations.

As the greenback is now worth $1.25 to the loonie, the best bet for travelers is to plan early enough ahead to find the best bang for their buck.

Senior Travel Consultant with Marlin Travel Okotoks Brenda Bailey says, there's a bit of a drop in US travelers and there's still a few questions to be asked when it will pick up again.

"So it is effecting us a bit," she says. "We are confident that the travel will pick-up once the snow flies, we have a lot of early booking bonus right now, so we do encourage people if they're thinking of traveling, to actually book now to get a better deal."

Bailey says she thinks the amount of travel to the US could be down longer than expected.

"This time of year we don't get as much as we do in the winter anyway," she says. "But I do believe it's going to be down for a bit."

She says all a traveler can do is look for the best deal way in advance.

"Right now with early booking bonuses that really helps you to save, for the winter time" she says. "The early bird gets the worm."

Bailey says some places to go instead of the states which are popular destinations include Mexico and Cuba, that don't as big of a hit with the American and Canadian dollar.
