If you’re looking to really get away from it all but you don’t have a massive budget to spend, there are a few destinations that cater to the budget traveller. Thanks to the internet, it’s easier than ever before to save money on faraway holidays these days. So which long-haul destinations are ideal for the budget conscious?
Tokyo, Japan
The cost of holidaying in Tokyo has dramatically reduced over the years, with costs totalling half of what they used to be in 2013. This has largely been down to the strength of the Great British Pound in the country, giving travellers a lot more for their money.
Tokyo boasts a unique, exciting atmosphere with plenty to see and do throughout your stay. From the majestic, impressive Mount Fuji, to Tokyo Disneyland; there’s something to suit all types of traveller.
Cuba, Caribbean
Dreaming of a faraway island where you can forget all your troubles? Cuba is one of the most luxurious islands you can visit and best of all it’s not as expensive as you might think. Companies such as The Holiday Place PLC, offer affordable holidays to this majestic destination.
It has everything you could possibly imagine, from glorious relaxing beaches to emerald green tobacco plantations. A holiday to Cuba can be whatever you want it to be. The locals are also extremely friendly and the atmosphere is completely laid back.
Bali, Indonesia
Another long-haul destination you wouldn’t associate with budget travel is Bali. In 2014, it was rated the number one cheapest long-haul destination. It boasts a diverse and rich culture and like Cuba, has a fantastic laid back atmosphere.
In Central Bali, you’ll get to discover dramatic volcanoes set within the central mountains, along with beautiful hillside temples. Surfers, as well as those seeking a more relaxing break, would appreciate the Northern and Western parts of Bali. They remain largely unspoilt and have a very sparse population.
The warmness of the locals is something that really completes a Bali holiday. They are well-known for being generous and welcoming.
As you can see, even if you are on a budget, there are still amazing long-haul holidays you can enjoy. The above destinations are just a small selection of what’s on offer for the budget traveller. There are so many ways you can cut back on long-haul destinations, so your dream of getting away from it all is not as unrealistic as you might think!
