Holidays On A Budget- Very Much A Reality
Vacations and holidays mean one thing and one thing only HAPPINESS; but one needs
to make sure that all that happiness comes at a pocket friendly price, which means great holiday deals. Lets face facts, weve been hit by a serious bout of recession and so, travelling and taking holidays (especially international ones) is not getting any cheaper. If anything, prices are on the rise.A lot of us have stopped taking vacations or at any rate, have cut down on the number of vacations we take in a year. But rising stress and work pressure means that we do need breaks and the best way to take a much needed break is to go on a vacation. So, how do we balance this out? One must, after all take breaks when one needs to. Simple, we just need to find a travel agent who has great vacation specials and holiday deals up his or her sleeves.
Tips For You
It might sound like an uphill task, but it really is not. You just need to be smart about it and youll find that it is, in fact, quite easy. For example, you can go to a great place at a cheap price by adjusting your timing. You can go during the off season time, rather than the peak season time. That itself, will lead to a decrease in the price of your airfare, hotel accommodation and sightseeing expenditure.
Choose your airlines carefully. Often, the most expensive part of a journey is the flight, especially if your destination is far away and you have to go on long haul flights. But of late, the increasing number of low cost airlines has made sure that everyone can afford to travel to far off places. Make sure you choose low cost airline which has a good track record and is also pocket friendly.
Budgeting Pointers
In order to ensure that your holiday expenditure does not go over budget, here are a few tips designed to help you out:
Be prepared! Make a list of all the essential items or things which you need to spend on. This really does help and you arent faced with sudden expenditure.
Make sure that you have a small amount tucked away somewhere for safety or emergency purposes. You might just have to reschedule your flight or book fresh tickets due to an illness!
It isnt feasible to suddenly come up with a lump sum of money just before your holiday. And if you can do that, chances are, youll feel the pinch. Its best to save up throughout the year; that way, you wont get the feeling that youre splurging and most importantly, you wont feel guilty!
But the best tip for a holiday on a budget (shoestring or not!) is to ensure that you have a good travel agent at your side who will have the best vacation deals and holiday specials ready for you; have fun!
