Every Penny Counts: Saving Money On a Vacation

A vacation, though fun, can take a lot out of a person’s bank account. It’s a good thing that frequent travelers have come up with sure-fire ways to save money while on a trip. These tricks are quite easy to follow and should help vacationers spend a lot less than they would have.

Veteran travelers believe that saving on a vacation starts even before the plane leaves the airport. The first tip is a good one: exchange dollars for foreign currency in American banks to save more money and never in airports. Tourists should know that money changers at airports have the worst rates anywhere in the world.

Veteran travelers also cite food establishments near tourist spots as having the worst prices. To make matters worse, these “tourist traps” have, at best, mediocre food. The trick is to buy either from another establishment away from these historical monuments and have them as packed lunch, or simply prepare your own.


Finally, and probably the biggest expense vacationers encounter is for lodgings. Veteran travelers highly suggest looking for smaller inns or apartments to rent, which are much cheaper, than hotels or resorts. That is unless of course the whole point of the vacation is to stay in the said hotel or resort.
