Many people love
traveling but have to limit their travels because of many sorts of expenses.
However, if you know a few tips like these, traveling is not so expensive.
1. Sharing costs
In the past, you
have to come straight to the airport to get your ticket, look up the
directories to find a hotel and plan well in advance. But today has changed; “sharing
costs” becomes a new travel idea that has been preferred by many. This means
you can share meals, means of transports, guides or accommodations, resulting a
significant amount of money saved.
2. Flying with low-cost airlines
Air transfer often
accounts for half of expenses of 4 or 5 day trips. If you travel with limited
budget, consider flying with VietJet Air, JetStar or AirAsia, who will save you
quite a lot of money. Constantly searching for promotion programmes will also
help.
3. Utilizing loyalty cards and vouchers
If you own some of
these privileged programmes that you can use, why not redeem them for your
trip. If your points are accumulated well enough, you can even get free flights
or free accommodations.
4. Choosing budget-friendly destinations
Think about this: The
cost of a week-end stay at a 4 star hotel in Paris equals the cost of a trip
traveling in Lisbon. Or what you have to pay for a 3 day stay at a luxury
resort in Maldives can get you two weeks exploring the highlights of Thailand.
Choosing countries in which costs are low or economy are struggling can help
you cutting costs on almost everything.
5. Don’t waste your money on banking fee
There’s no point of
wasting $3 for withdrawing money or 3% when shopping abroad, except if you want
to splurge. There are many banks that provide credit and debit cards that do
not charge for transactions fee. Look for one before traveling.
6. Timing your tour booking
Booking tours either
at the last minute or one year in advance will save you some money. In the
first case, tour companies tend to reduce the prices to attract bookings and
maximize occupancy.
7. Traveling on your own vehicle
You don’t have to travel abroad to have a trip of your
lifetime while Vietnam still has so many secrets waiting for you to unveil. Get
your own bikes or cars, hit the road and discover your beautiful country.
