Steering away from the traditional winter sun hot-spots and opting for holidays to India or Thailand is one option suggested for budget travellers.
Taking advantage of the cheap flights to India on offer this winter is just one of several money-saving tips from Caxton FX.
The foreign exchange company has come up with a list of hints for travellers looking to escape to the sunshine.
Avoiding the usual winter sun hot-spots by booking holidays to Thailand or India could offer travellers great value for money, the company suggests.
Other tips to cut holiday expenditure include steering clear of the peak holiday times around Christmas and school holidays and considering catered accommodation to save on expenses once you reach your destination.
Earlier this month, Monarch Holidays announced that it had seen bookings for all-inclusive holidays grow by 26.5 per cent in summer 2009, while a spokesperson from ABTA – The Travel Association confirmed that all-inclusive packages had proved popular across the board.
Caxton FX is also advising travellers to take advantage of the pre-paid currency cards on offer to help keep track of their holiday budgets.
