Make Your Travel Dreams Come True With Limited Budget
If you always dreamt about traveling and seeing different places but were plagued by limited budget there are ways to make your travel dreams come true if you do a little research and find these money saving ways.
One such idea is using Travel Certificates (also called Travel Vouchers).
There are companies that offer promotional travel certificates for Cruise and Hotels in both domestic as well as International Destinations.
These vouchers can save you hundreds of dollars.
However since these are promotional incentives they come with some obvious restrictions.
Most of these restrictions are obviouslike you cannot travel during peak season (unless you are ready to pay a surcharge), not arrive on weekends, make reservations at least 30-60 days in advance etc.
Considering the amount of money you are expected to save these restrictions are not too bad if you can plan in advance (as you would generally do with any major vacation) and are a bit flexible with your travel date.
Now the obvious questions: Why would Hotels/Resorts do that? Do they not lose money? To understand the answer you need to understand how the travel industry works.
Most Hotels/Resorts are 100% full only during weekends or around major holidays.
Other than that they invariably have vacancies on an ongoing basis.
By offering promotional travel they try to fill these vacancies.
This acts as another marketing tool for them and allows them to showcase their facilities to prospective customers.
In addition when people travel to their facilities they invariably spend money at the bar, restaurants, gift shop or use other services offered by them.
Sometimes visitors add extra nights (which are at normal rates) although they are not obligated to do so.
If they like the services they will come back as a full paying customer and refer their friends, coworkers and relatives etc.
So it is a win-win situation for everyone.
What you need to watch out for? While these vacation vouchers can be very cost effective way to travel different places please be sure to read the complete Terms and Conditions and understand all associated cost.
Typically the cost only includes Taxes for Hotels and Port Charges/Govt.
Taxes for Cruises if you follow the Terms & Conditions.
But if make your reservations at the last minute or choose to arrive on a weekend or on a major holiday you may be required to pay surcharge.
But this is only fair otherwise the Hotels/Resorts will not be making any money.
So if you can be a little smarter with your travel plans you can satisfy your travel bug without getting a second mortgage on your house.
Get away from day to day life and travel the places you always dreamt of: see the world, experience different cultures, make new friends and above all make memories that last a lifetime.
