How to save money on 2009 eco-holidays
How can you save money on 2009 eco-holidays? responsibletravel.com offers these 3 top tips for booking your holiday next year:
Beat the Euro. – “Destinations like Turkey, Egypt and Croatia are going to be extra popular in the face of an unforgiving Euro exchange rate. How about a week of activities in and around the stunning Croatian islands? Or stay in a cave hotel in Cappadocia for unique holidays in Turkey that you’ll never forget!”
Go off-season. - “Accommodation owners are always keen to welcome guests during their less busy periods and you may find you have an even more unique and personalised experience. Try popular self catering accommodation in Cyprus and save when you go off season. Even avoiding weekends can be a good way to save. Plus in popular destinations you’ll usually feel less rushed and have more time to get to know a place when you shy away from the tourist hordes of the high season.”
Research alternative destinations. – “Visiting somewhere less populated by tourism has many advantages for you and the local people and you are much less likely to be subject to bumped up tourist prices. How about Senegal instead of Kenya? Or Ecuador instead of Brazil? By traveling to less visited countries responsibly you are helping to boost local economies and promote responsible tourism in the areas you visit.”
