How can I save money on a group trip?
How can I save money on a group trip? If you're traveling in a large group or planning an extended stay, look into renting an apartment rather than staying at a hotel. This can be significantly cheaper but may require a deposit. If the stay is shorter or you have a smaller group, try to find hostels in the area.
How much should I put in a travel fund?
Designate an amount from each paycheck that you won't really miss, but that's substantial enough to make the fund grow before you need it. The longer you have before you travel, the easier this will be. For example, if your trip is in six months and will cost $3,000, then you need to put aside $500 per month.
Is it cheaper to travel solo or in a group?
It's Less Expensive With no-one else to share costs with, travelling solo can become a more expensive endeavour. Food, transport and accommodation can often be cheaper with group discounts.
Why group tours are cheaper?
Just as when you buy in bulk at the grocery store, buying in bulk also helps when traveling for large tour companies. By reserving large groups of people, these companies are able to get a cheaper price, which makes the price per person cheaper as well.
