The shadow of recession continues to loom large and if you are feeling a pinch in your budget, then you are not alone. People are looking for all sorts of ways to cut down on expenditure and unfortunately vacations and travel seem to be high on the list of things that could be done away with.
Here are some tips to help you keep your travel expenditure in check without compromising on the quality of your holiday.
Plan well ahead
Planning ahead can save on your accommodation expenses. Keep in mind if you leave things to the last minute, you would, in all probability, have to pay premium prices for the hotels or guest houses. The other option is to have patience and wait for last minute deals that can help you get a great bargain.
Plan an off-season holiday
In case you don't really want to stay in a budget hotel, you can plan your vacation to a particular place during the off-season.
Choosing a destination
Traveling by car is definitely going to be cheaper than air tickets if you are not going too far. In fact if you are on a really tight budget, choose a place, which is nearer to your home. You can further cut down on your budget by staying in a camp rather than a hotel.
