It is pleasant and useful to have a rest. Especially if you travel to other countries, gaining strength and learning something new, discovering the culture of nations, etc. But travel, in particular, abroad, requires large financial investments. Therefore, the question arises - is it possible to save money on travel abroad? Of course.
I must say that the main expenses of overseas tours are always associated with travel agencies. Some vouchers come at a pretty penny. Traveling on your own, you can save money and invest in other, equally useful things, for example, to make the same vacation more comfortable and exciting. But many tourists are afraid of independent recreation. Although, if you have already been to a particular country, you can figure out for yourself where to get a job, where to walk, where to dine, where to swim and sunbathe. It is clear that the refusal of travel agency services is fraught with certain risks. This has its advantages and disadvantages.
What are the advantages of independent recreation?
First and perhaps most importantly, you exclude intermediaries. That is, a tour operator organizing holidays, and a travel agency selling vouchers for foreign travel and trips. You yourself choose the hotel where you will be staying, you yourself purchase plane or train tickets. Accordingly, you save on paying for the services of intermediaries. And this, you see, is a significant benefit. Since the lion's share of the costs falls on the services of tour operators and travel agencies.
Secondly, the tour operator has a limited choice of accommodation, that is, you will have to live in the hotel that is offered to you. And when you travel on your own, you can always choose the hotel you like.
Thirdly, the tour operator's flights are carried out only by charter flights. And you can save on the flight by choosing a direct tour, even with a transfer.
Traveling on your own, you do not have to wait for all arriving tourists to be taken to hotels. You yourself will get to your place of residence. You are not limited in your actions by the schedule, as if you were traveling on a tourist package. Where and why to go, you decide for yourself.
It is profitable to have a rest on your own. But you need to properly organize your vacation.
It is better to order tickets and hotel rooms on the Internet. It's much cheaper this way. Be sure to print the document confirming that you have booked and paid for the services. Be sure to take out insurance. It costs a little and can come in handy during a vacation. And, of course, you need to get a visa if the country you decide to visit supports the visa regime. This procedure is simple, short-lived and inexpensive.
