Here are some traveling secrets from Apex Professionals to help you save BIG on the next vacation you take!
10) Eat with the locals. Instead of heading to the nearest fancy touristy restaurant, go where the locals go to eat. You are likely to get more authentic food that is less expensive.
9) Start planning your vacation early. If you are trying to go somewhere specific, don’t expect to be able to get a last minute deal. You can shop around and get the best prices by starting early.
Travel by local public transportation. If you are the kind of traveler who really wants to explore the culture of an area, then you will enjoy this anyways. For instance, in Hong Kong, their OctoPass is a cheap way to travel on basically any bus, subway, or light rail in the whole city. In places like Hong Kong, your only other option would be to take expensive taxi cabs everywhere.
7) Want to save on lodging? You can always get a much better deal if you are willing to stay in a hotel that is twenty or more miles away from your destination. Especially if you are going to a big city, this can make a substantial difference in price.
6) Look for coupons! When you purchase a rail ticket in London, for instance, you get cheaper tickets to almost any major tourist attraction just because you bought a train ticket. The Tower of London, the London Eye, and the London Aquarium are just a few of the places you get coupons to when you buy your ticket.
5) Bring as much of your own food as you can. Nowadays, the airlines are charging an arm and a leg for a mini can of Pringles. If you are on an international flight, the appeal of a salty or sugary snack can be even worse. When you get to your destination, buy some basics at a grocery store. You may be surprised how much a sack lunch every day will save you on your vacation. And besides, what is better than stopping at a scenic locale to eat lunch?
4) Never take the first price you are quoted for things like museum tickets. With student discounts, senior discounts, group discounts and more, you can always try to get a better price.
3) Be flexible! You can get awesome last minute deals online if your days are flexible and you only care that you end up on a beach, but not which one.
2) If you can, travel in the off-season. For instance, if you want to go to Florida, go in the summer. It is way cheaper.
1) Do not buy a timeshare! When you have a timeshare, your vacation suddenly becomes a lot less flexible. You cannot utilize any great last minute deals to other exciting destinations if you are already locked up in a time share. And while timeshares seem cheap at first, once you add the cost of maintenance in, they suddenly become less of a bargain.
