Travelling has become the new checklist
point for every second person. Why is it so? Are people getting more aware of
the existence of places? Or are they blindly following the trend and trying to
be an active participant in that? In my sense, it is a little bit of both and
many other factors. With the easy availability of the internet to everyone,
people are getting aware about various hidden nooks and corners of India and
abroad, which were earlier not explored by people. With Instagram and Facebook
stories acting as the inspiration for many others to travel, places are getting
flooded with tourists and visitors.
In this flock of travellers, many want to
travel and explore the luxuries. They are not able to do so because of the
significant expenses. I want to state some very simple and obvious points here,
following which many travellers might be able to save a lot of money and enjoy
the luxuries as well.
1. Look for free activities: If you do extensive research before each travel, you will find
that often there are a lot of free events happening in the area. You can also
ask the hotel for travel packages they offer along with their stay. For, eg:
many 5-star hotels provide a free city tour or a local market/museum/monument
visit, included in their package. These are the things you can negotiate at the
time of booking.
2. Shop at farmer’s market and
local stores: This option can be availed by
travellers who opt to live in homestays or Airbnb. Walkthrough the near-by
areas to get an idea of local markets and shops. Shopping at local stores will
give you an idea of the regional cuisines and will drastically reduce the cost
of eating in restaurants at all times. You can bring in the stuff of your
choice and cook it yourself.
3. Before you book, check the
location of your stay: Transportation takes in a lot
of your costs while travelling. It’s always advised to search well before
booking the stay, to save money in commuting.
4. Carry snacks and water
during outings: Always have some snacks and water
handy in your bag while travelling, especially with kids. You will observe that
this simple habit will a save lot of your money. But don’t miss out the local
delicacies while following this stringently.
5. Travel Off-Season: You will surely agree with me that this one point will drastically
bring down your overall cost. It follows a simple rule of demand and supply.
During the off-season, the footfall reduces significantly. Therefore, hotels,
resorts, famous eateries etc. brings down their costs. This is an ideal time to
travel to the places which are otherwise very heavy on the pocket.
