We all love our holidays and the credit crunch shouldn’t stop us doing what we love! So how can we get a cheaper holiday? Luckily, flight costs are actually getting cheaper these days, it’s just the accommodation that is becoming more and more expensive. So consider self catering holidays for your next trip. For the most part, self catering holidays tend to be something you do within your own country, but you shouldn’t be limited to that. Most countries these days, especially the cities offer lots of private, holiday apartments for low cost rental, much cheaper than a hotel which you can lease for a weekend, week or more and have the added privacy also. There are also lots of tour operators who are pushing their self catering packages due to people being a little strapped for cash. You can often find a cheap flight and apartment or self catering hotel package, particularly online. For the most part, people who book full board accommodation these days tend to not make full use of it anyway. Who wants to eat in the same place 3 times a day whilst on holiday? I certainly don’t. For your next trip, save some money and enjoy your holiday a lot more at the same time.
