Layoff Protection
Several companies and travel agents are offering insurance against losing your job. If the unfortunate happens before your trip you can get a full refund. Of course, if you buy trip cancellation insurance you will almost always be covered for this possibility.

Layoff Pricing
Special prices are sometimes available to those who have recently been laid off. Intrepid Travel offers 15% off any of their tours. The Rabbit Hill Inn in Vermont is giving away six two-night getaways to unemployed workers during its Pink Slip Getaway Giveaway.
