101 Tips For Travelling On A Budget - How
To Enjoy Your Vacation, Holiday or Getaway and Save
Money!
The Travel Phenomenon
INTRODUCTION
The key to budget travel is to plan
ahead.
When it comes to family trips,
globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or
going to see new places we have never been before, the
reality of cost and budgeting is always in the back of our
minds.
Planning and spending our travel dollar wisely is a
priority for most families.
Curbing spending and costs, while still enjoying your
vacation to its fullest, is the key to guaranteed success and
fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and
family will thank you!
The reasoning behind saving money while traveling
is simple: Even if your personal budget is
extremely tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life!
Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of
the door or leaving the homestead!
Also remembering that while traveling, whether on a
budget or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to
a large vacation or travel bill!
For example, all those hotel extra’s, cab-fares, tips,
restaurants, car rentals, gas for your own vehicle if on a road
trip, tickets for special attractions or events,
beach-and-pool-side drinks (if not at an all-inclusive resort
or cruise) and more, adds on and piles up!
This brings us to the some of the rhyme and reason
behind budgeting for travel and planning well. This also
applies monetarily, to ensure your trip is a success, enjoyable
and memorable. Your outlook could be a balance between
replenishing your resources and not breaking the bank in the
process!

Introduction
to budget travel
Once
you have determined what is most important to
you, it is time to start determining how to get
the best deals. Often, admission deals on
area attractions are the easiest to come by,
since many theme parks, museums and other
destinations run specials to attract out of
town guests.
To score big discounts on
area attractions, the best place to start is
the web site of the attraction itself. Be
sure to check the web site for any specials,
such as two for one deals, free admission for
children, special reduced admission days,
etc.
If you are a member of the
military, a senior citizen or a member of an
organization such as AAA, there are often
additional discounts available. Most AAA
offices sell discount admission tickets to
theme parks, museums and other popular
attractions within driving distance, and most
AAA offices sell discounted admissions to
popular attractions like Walt Disney World as
well. The key to making your travel
budget stretch farther is to ask about, and
take advantage of, all discounts that may be
available.
