Rest abroad can be not only pleasant and exciting, but also very profitable. To do this, you just need to know what time it is best to go there, when to buy a ticket or how to do without the help of a tour operator at all.

Step 1
Probably every tourist would like to have a rest abroad and at the same time save good money. There are several ways to make your vacation profitable without ruining it. The first of these methods is to choose the right time to rest. In tourist terms, there are the concepts of "high season" and "low season". In the first case, we are talking about the most popular time spent by tourists in the country, and in the other - the time when most people do not think about rest, as they are busy at their workplace.
Step 2
The traditionally high season for vacations and trips to hot countries is summer. In winter, during the New Years, school and student holidays, the high season is thriving in the tourist mountainous areas for skiing. It is easy to assume that the prices for tours at this time will be much higher than when the number of tourists begins to decline. Therefore, for a quiet and economical vacation, you should travel to these countries a little earlier or a little later than the main time for a tourist vacation.
Step 3
The second important tip will be the recommendation to take care of your vacation in advance. Whichever date you choose and whichever country you are traveling to, booking a tourist voucher earlier will help you save up to 40-50% of its cost. When you book a tour in this way, you can choose a more convenient hotel, location, resort, since all the places in them will not be sold out yet. The choice of the proposed vacation spots will not be limited either, you can plan your vacation in a leisurely atmosphere and pay for it without fear that someone will buy your places. In addition, such a tour will not be subject to price increases due to inflation or the operator's desire to cash in on tourists during the peak season, because it will already be paid for. By early booking, you can purchase tours 3-5 months before the date of the proposed vacation.
Step 4
The opposite way to save money on vacation is to buy the so-called "hot package". These vouchers are sold at great discounts a few days before the tour starts. They work in the same way as big discounts at the supermarket, where the management is trying to quickly sell the product, which is approaching the end of sale. Of course, with the help of such tours, you can get a very profitable ticket to fairly good hotels. But there are also less attractive options. Usually, hot vouchers are those places in hotels that other tourists did not buy, therefore, most of all, the option of buying such a tour is suitable for unassuming people with low demands and limited funds.
Step 5
A popular way to save money and have a profitable vacation in other countries is planning an independent trip. Why pay a tour operator when you can book your own hotel or hostel, buy plane tickets and explore the city on your own or soak up the beach. Moreover, many airlines offer very cheap tickets to European countries or large discounts on flights redeemed in advance. For accommodation in the host country, tourists also often pay very little or nothing, spending the night in campings, tents, or finding people who agree to shelter them for a while at home. In modern conditions of dissemination of information, when you can order tickets or find a place to stay via the Internet, it is not at all necessary to spend a lot of money and pay for your vacation with intermediaries.
