Guilt Free Travel With Holiday Deals
In todays economy many people are eschewing travel altogether in favour of more fiscally
sound investments like paying off debt, boosting savings accounts and just generally buckling down with minimal luxuries to ride out the economic storm.Theres no real need to lock yourself in at home however, as there are plenty of fantastic holiday deals out there which are ideal for absolutely any budget from the frugal to the absolute shoestring.
Always start online. You can get the best travel deals by having a rummage around the web on comparison sites, specialist budget holiday sites and name your price style booking sites which will let you locate a holiday you want by simply setting your budget. Have a quick Google for obvious terms like travel deals, discount travel or budget holidays and youll be amazed at what you can find.
If youre pinching the pennies or just looking for a short break, ignore the beaches and resorts and consider going urban. There are a lot of beautiful historical cities filled with activity holiday ideas, luxury hotels and sightseeing tours which can offer absolute bargain basement prices if booked sufficiently in advance.
Look for special offers like CityPass (www.citypass.com) which gives you bulk access to multiple attractions at a discount, or have a search for coupons and vouchers for attractions in your chosen destination to see what else is on offer to save you some money.
For the best guaranteed prices at popular destinations or well-equipped resorts, the key is to go during the off-season when hotels are practically giving rooms away in order to avoid having them sitting empty. Steer clear of school holidays and traditional winter break territory and you can pick up some great bargains at popular locales like Palm Springs, Hawaii and many of the Pacific island and Mediterranean beach resorts.
If youve got family living in any exciting foreign locales then a visit can be a fantastic way to minimise your accommodation costs as long as they dont mind putting you up! For those looking for a different approach to family holidays, try going along with friends who also have children so you can split the cost of a villa or condo. The price per person often decreases in self-catering accommodation as the number of bedrooms goes up. You can even swap childcare duties to give all the adults a couple of evenings off during your stay!
For the ultimate in low cost holiday deals, try a home swap with a foreign family via sites like HomeLink (www.homelink.com) which let you find people looking to holiday in your area who are willing to swap houses for a couple of weeks. Membership fees to such sites are yearly but typically a fraction of a normal annual holiday, and most swaps themselves are totally free which leaves you only having to directly shell out for the travel and activities. If you dont want people staying in your house, look for low cost rentals by owner on sites like VRBO.com instead.
