Travelling abroad and visiting exotic new places can cost a fortune! Most people will agree that the number one thing holding them back from travelling the world is; you guessed it, MONEY!

However, you don’t have to be rich to travel the world. There are plenty of ways to travel cheaply while still experiencing a luxury holiday. In this post, we’re going to show you how to experience a luxury holiday on a tight budget.

Plan Your Trip

Nothing feels better than spontaneous travel – booking your trip and flying out all within 2 weeks can’t be beaten. However, it also tends to cost considerably more money as you’re booking in-demand last-minute flights. If you’re on a budget this won’t work for you, so the first thing you need to do is plan your trip.

Planning your trip month’s in advance can save you considerable amounts of money. Leaving less to chance means you’re less likely to run into unexpected costs; last-minute flights and accommodation are far more expensive.

Travel During Off-Peak Times

Travel is seasonal. What’s considered “off-peak” in one country might not be in another. Each country tends to have different tourist seasons, so doing a little research on the most popular time’s people visit your destination will go a long way in reducing your overall expenditure.

It’s also worth considering your when people in your own country will be looking to travel. During school holidays, the travel industry hikes up prices to take advantage of whole families who are only available to travel during these times. Research the best times to visit your destination and then visit slightly before or after these dates.

Check for Discounts and Deals

Package holiday deals are a great way to bag yourself a flight and hotel for considerably less than their usual prices. There are always incredible deals, discounts and promotions available online for just about every destination you could imagine. It’s all about being patient and keeping an eye out for these deals.

Often these deals are limited time or capacity so you have to be quick, but with a little searching, it’s not surprising for luxury resorts and destinations to promote themselves with great deals and discounts.
