NEW YORK -- VisitBritain has some tips for Americans interested in swapping homes as a way to save money on vacation.

The tourism-promotion agency recommends Intervac -- www.intervac.com -- as a home-exchange program that offers a "diverse selection of apartments, country houses and cottages in England, Scotland and Wales."

Green Theme International Home Exchange Holiday Service -- www.gti-home-exchange.com -- specializes in "eco-friendly homes" which may have solar panels, fluorescent or LED lights and sometimes even bicycles or hybrid cars.

HomeExchange -- www.homeexchange.com -- offers house swaps as well as hospitality exchanges, where you may stay with your host family.

Self-catering apartments such as Club Suites -- www.sloaneclub.co.uk -- and Soho Square -- www.londonapartmentservice.co.uk -- can also help you cut down on dining-out expenses. For more information on homestays, call 800-462-2748 or see www.visitbritain.com/us.
