Cheap Holiday Destinations for 2013
For the most part, going on holiday means a big hit to your wallet, but it doesn’t have to be. You can visit go on holiday without being declared bankrupt.
These cheap holiday destinations give you the opportunity to see the world and return home with the best souvenir ever – money in your wallet!
Egypt
Egypt was voted the best short-haul destination this year.
The Egyptian tourism industry was badly affected by publicity surrounding the Arab Spring. The crowds usually found at tourist sites such as the pyramids and the Valley of the Kings have vanished. In an attempt to regain its lost glory, many hotels are offering deals. This is a great time to visit Egypt. Just don’t go during summer as its sweltering hot.
Mexico
To put it plainly, Mexico is inherently cheap. There has been negative publicity due to the widespread drug violence which by the way is hundreds of kilometers from the most popular tourist spots. This has however made Mexico ready and willing to offer you a great holiday deal.
Riviera Maya and Cancun are home to more five- star resorts than Hawaii and the Caribbean combined with prices being superbly cheaper. You can bet that your money will stretch out quite a bit.
South Africa
The thing about South Africa is its winter there when it’s summer here, so plan accordingly. Prices on the ground are very reasonable and this is a great place to go on holiday.
Thailand
Another Country trying to regain its lost tourism glory is Thailand, meaning great deals for tourists. Very good four- and five-star hotels and resorts are offering great deals, and you can get even better prices at the lower end.
Argentina
Although airfares are not cheap, prices on the ground are. The food is amazing and you’ll find many hotels offering reasonable prices across the country. Knowledge of basic Spanish will help once you get out of the main tourist centers.
Greece
This may be in bad taste, but the uncertainty about the future of this Country is really driving down travel costs. The already low prices will drop even further should it fall out with the Euro so if you’re not in a hurry to go on holiday, give it a little while and you will make huge savings visiting this Country.
The drop in demand will depress prices even more in the meantime.
The drawback of the situation is that service is not very reliable at this time. So be patient if you find out that all the baggage handlers are out of a job. Head out to the larger islands while they still have airports and roads and stuff like that and get to experience this country for much less than it’s worth.
Spain
Spain is going through similar troubles as Greece so a number of visitors are putting off their holiday plans. The savvy traveler knows that this is the best time to visit though. You won’t get cheaper prices than the ones currently on offer.
Conclusion
Get your holiday planned and save by taking advantage of the current conditions. Not everyone is recovering so the countries that would have cost an arm and a leg are now accessible. Stay on top of current trends and you’ll be well on your way to discount holidays in the UK, such as those provided by the Holiday Discount Centre.
