With the pound slumping next to the Euro and the US Dollar and the prices of going abroad seeming to rise, how do you save money on your holiday? We’ve got some tips to help you.
Consider your Destination
Choose your destination based on whether Sterling is strong against the local currency. This means that you will have more money to spend abroad. Some of the best destinations with a weak currency compared to Sterling are:

Consider your Date
Plan your holiday months in advance and grab some early bird savings. Many companies such as Club Med offer up to 15% off when you book 6 months or more in advance. You can also get a better deal when you look for dates that are out of season. We all know when the school holidays are and when is best to go to Europe but what about Africa? For example, travelling to Botswana in June and November could be up to 30 percent cheaper than if you travelled in July or October.
Talk to us and we’ll help you find the best dates.
Consider your Holiday Type
You may think that you have a good deal, you’ve priced up transfers flights and accommodation but the extra money you spend on drinks, taxis and meals can really add up on holiday. If you know that you love an all you can eat buffet, unlimited drinks or a nightlife that isn’t far to get to, then you may want to consider a holiday type that accommodates this.
Why not consider an All-Inclusive resort, an Escorted Tour or a Cruise.
