Tourists are always looking for ways to save on travel. To do this, they use various tricks — from choosing the cheapest flights to creative approaches in booking accommodation and planning routes. Travel expert Daniel Clarke from Parklink shares his tricks that always help him keep his holiday costs down over the festive period.
“The key to vacationing for less is to plan ahead, be as flexible as possible and do your own research. The more money you save during the holiday planning stage, the more money you'll have left over for treats and mulled wine while you're there!”
Clark emphasized that tourists who simply trust a travel agent to choose a tour, without doing additional research, will pay a lot more money than if they search for the best options on their own. He advises checking the cost of plane tickets and hotel stays in detail, as agents often add a commission.
Clarke recommends that budget travelers be flexible in choosing the date of departure, choosing the lowest ticket prices. He also advises looking for accommodation outside the city center where prices are more reasonable, with good transport links or safe parking. It is also worth considering private apartments as an alternative to classic hotels, as they can be cheaper and more conveniently located.
