Choose destinations close to where you live to save money when traveling during the upcoming April 30 holiday. |
Choose a nearby tourist spot
If you haven't planned your holiday early enough to get cheap airfare, train tickets or tours, consider destinations closer to where you live, easily accessible by car or motorbike.
By choosing nearby destinations, you can be proactive about your time, save a lot of travel costs, and still ensure you can rest, "change the air", and recharge your energy for the working days after the holiday.
Experience shows that if you don’t want to “overspend”, never choose entertainment areas that require an entrance fee. Choose public destinations that everyone has the right to go to such as beaches, parks, visiting architectural works, museums for free...
Choose the right means of transport
Even if you are planning to choose a faraway destination, there are still more affordable means of transport that can help you save on travel costs. Many groups of young people have chosen high-quality cars at bus stations to travel to the Central Highlands, Da Lat, and Da Nang.
With these destinations, the travel time will be longer, but in return, you can travel and enjoy the scenery along the way or stop wherever you want. If you are a bit adventurous, you can also choose motorbikes, travel in groups to travel to wild but new and attractive places.
When walking around architectural works and scenic spots in the city, you should not take a taxi because the price is expensive and there are often unreliable taxis.
The cheapest way is to walk because you can see the scenery more clearly, enjoy the scenery along the way and it doesn’t cost a penny. If you want to save time, you can also choose public transportation such as buses… In addition, you can also rent motorbikes and bicycles to freely explore beautiful places.
Make a list of supplies
Before you start your trip, make a list of what you need to bring and check it carefully before you leave. This way, you will not have to pay extra for towels, lotion, shampoo… which are much more expensive.
Bring food
Bringing food is also a way to reduce travel costs. You can bring dry foods such as instant noodles, bread, canned food so you don't have to spend money on snacks. Experience to save costs is not to choose restaurants advertised in tours or hotels but to ask local people to choose places to eat that are both cheap and delicious.

Hunting for promotions, hotel rooms far from the center
Hotel chains and motels near tourist areas: near the beach, near entertainment centers are often quite expensive compared to hotels and motels further away. With motels and hotels far from the center, you can not only save money but also have the opportunity to discover new things in the "suburbs" of tourist destinations.
