How you can reduce the cost of a holiday

Holiday budgets are ‘blown’ for a number of reasons. If you allow for all of these additional costs, you can make additional savings:

Distance to the resort. A large part of the cost of a budget holiday is most often round trip tickets. They can take up to 70-75% of the cost of a package tour.

Features of the flight - the presence of a transfer, the type of flight (charter or regular) can also significantly affect the final cost of the tourist product.

Seasonality. High season is not only raising prices for the tour itself, but also for everything in the tourist country. If you go on holiday not in the tourist season, you can get almost the same impressions, but spend half as much.

Tour options: additional excursions, trips, services - all these are additional costs. The fewer the options, the more you can save.

Place of Accommodation. Hotel stars are not always the first on the list of reasons that increase the cost of a holiday. Proximity to the beach, attractions can hit your wallet much harder than the difference between 3- and 4-star hotels in the same area of a tourist city.

Additional fees and costs. As a rule, in countries whose government does not require a visa and does not impose tourist fees, holidays are much cheaper.
