Where to Go If You Want to Splurge in Your Vacation

The economy may be unstable, but you always have your travel dreams. Learning new things and experiencing it yourself makes it on top of your bucket lists.

If you have limited budget but would still want to travel and explore as much as you could, below are some of our low-cost travel ideas or affordable ways to meet your travel goals. Are you ready? Keep on reading.

How to keep your travel budget in check:

  1. PLAN IT – you have to check the peak and off-peak season of the place you wanted to visit. If you don’t want to be there during rainy days definitely, the mid months between these seasons are the perfect timing for you. You can get both less crowd and a better (if not best) weather than rainy days. On top of it, you’ll definitely get some discounts. Go for camping!

  2. SIGN IN FOR SAVINGS – most of the time, hotels or booking websites offer exclusive members-only savings. Skeptical? Try it yourself and be surprise with the reward programs and exclusive promo discounts.

  3. CHECK CANCELLATION POLICY - most booking sites have free cancellation on the majority of listings, but always be sure of the cancellation policy and check its validity (e.g. sometimes free cancellation of booking applies only for 48 hours before the booking date). While this is a great way to hold an exceptionally good rate, many booking sites offer an even greater discount if you book a non-refundable rate. It pays to plan ahead!

  4. LOOK FOR COUPON CODES - find a coupon for that hotel chain or the booking site you found it on. Always put in the year and/or month to filter out expired coupons, e.g. “Hotels.com September 2015 coupon”

  5. TRY BIDDING, LAST MINUTE PROMO or MYSTERY DEALS - Price bidding is a virtual auction, and involves offering your own price on a known hotel (keep in mind that a bid is a commitment to that price each time).

 

While some travel with budget, there are also who saves for their travel dream to have a bigger budget. We have a few good places to visit with your hard-earned money and spend it wisely.

If you have a higher budget, here are the best places to go:
