So you’ve got your heart set on a vacation, you’ve packed your sunglasses and you’ve dug out your passport. But your bank balance won’t quite stretch to a week in the sun. What do you do next? Don’t panic, because thanks to the huge amount of low-cost holiday deals on offer, there are plenty of ways to enjoy an affordable escape without upsetting your bank account too much.
When it comes to finding great vacation deals, first look to package getaways as a way of enjoying a fuss-free escape with all the essentials included upfront. Package breaks typically include essentials like return flights, nightly accommodation and local resort transfers, along with the support of a locally based representative, so it’s a handy way to enjoy a holiday without forking out for additional extras.
Of course, if you’re the spontaneous type, package vacations often get cheaper the closer you get to the departure date. For instance, check out the Co-operative Travel cheap deals and search for holidays departing within the next 4 – 6 weeks. You’ll find that some have been reduced in price and represent superb value for money, so it’s well worth preparing to book and jet off with short notice if cost-saving is the name of the game.
Another way to save money when choosing a vacation package or hotel break is to consider your board basis carefully. Whether you opt for holiday deals or a standard-priced escape, there’s no point paying extra for all-inclusive if you’re likely to spend most of your time away from the hotel. Self-catering or bed and breakfast is ideal for those who like to try local restaurants, while half-board and full-board suit those who tend to stay within the resort. All inclusive is ideal if you’re happy to dine in the hotel during the evening and spend your days in or near the hotel confines, so be sure to choose the right plan for you.
So whatever vacation deals take pique your interest, there are plenty of cost-saving measures out there to help you enjoy a memorable and affordable escape. Which one suits you?
I recently discovered Coop Travel deals myself and I completely agree that they do some very tempting last minute special offers!

Well I never thought that way LOL but now that you mentioned you’re totally right, all inclusive are not that worthy if you’re thinking on going out the whole day! but I think it happens due to people that is not sure where they will land!
