Where can I find the best deals on family vacation?
Answer:
There are many sources for excellent vacation deals. 
An Internet search for vacation packages in your desired location is an excellent starting point for finding a great deal on the vacation of your dreams.

Your search may differ depending on the type of vacation you’re seeking.  For example, a family vacation is quite different than a honeymoon.  There are websites and information for every location imaginable and every type of correlating vacation. 
 
There are several Internet-based travel agency and travel broker sites that frequently have fantastic deals on trips to the very places you want to go.  Expedia and Travelocity are two of the most widely recognized online travel services.  A simple web search will lead you to these sites, as well as numerous others that offer similar services.

Most popular tourist destinations have an official tourism website that is designed to market the area to vacationers and other travelers.  These sites are excellent resources for finding vacation deals, as well as local coupons and comprehensive information about various activities you might enjoy during your trip.  For example, www.visitlasvegas.com includes a special offers page that allows you to select from among current specials offered by local properties and attractions. 

If your idea of a perfect vacation centers more around a particular type of activity than a specific destination, you can find great trip packages by conducting a web search for vacation deals related to your activity of choice.
  For example a web search for golf vacation deals revealed www.golf-vacation.com , an online resource for great deals on golf resort and golfing special event vacation packages. 

It can also be beneficial to build a strong working relationship with a local travel agent.  Get to know a local travel agent and let him or her know what types of vacation destinations appeal to you.  Ask to be notified when special vacation packages and offers become available for those locations.  Many times, travel agents find out about special pricing on last minute cruise ship vacancies and other great deals.

Additionally, if you use a credit card, you may want to consider trading in your current card for one that features a rewards program that allows you to earn points toward free travel based on your every day purchases.  This can be an excellent way to earn free or reduced cost travel with little or no effort on your part.

Not sure if this forum is just in the USA but when when I'm travelling around Australia I use this site www.godo.com.au it has cheap activities everywhere and it has saved me heaps of time in bookings. There are a few similar sites to what you would get over there like last minute etc as well.
