“Most people look forward to the New Year vacations to finally relax and go on a fabulous trip. Meanwhile, with a rash approach, traveling as a family during the holidays can be unaffordable even for those who have a stable average income. I tell you about how to save money on New Year’s vacation and make it budget”.

Those planning a vacation during the winter vacations should understand that on New Year’s Eve, prices for any tours and flights skyrocket two or three times. This is the most expensive period for leisure. We can say that this time is a real gold mine for hotels. If you are still ready to splurge but want to save money, use the following tips.

Choose “inconvenient” travel dates

It’s no secret that the most relevant and in demand are the numbers from January 1 to January 3. On these days, tour operators offer the highest possible price, knowing perfectly well that the trick will work. The whole point is that according to the old Russian tradition, most people celebrate New Year’s Eve on December 31 at home, in the circle of loved ones, and only then with a clear conscience goes on a trip. If you dream of a New Year’s trip and are ready to sacrifice a long-standing habit, feel free to buy a tour with departure on December 29-30. Such a decision will cost 10% cheaper than in the first days of January.

To save significantly, it is necessary to go beyond the established New Year vacations, for example, fly out on December 23-24 and return to January 1. This schedule does not suit everyone, because many of us “close tails” at work, buy gifts and actively prepare for the holiday.

Another economical, but not the most popular option is the period from January 6-7 with a return date of about January 10. This decision will allow you to go on a New Year’s vacation at a relatively reasonable price.

Choose less popular countries

Accept the fact that a warm sea on New Year’s vacation will cost a lot. If you are ready to limit yourself in the desire to swim and enjoy the summer weather, there is a suitable solution.

One of the most convenient and budget-friendly countries is Turkey, where many hotels have pools, both inside and outside. In addition, here will be even if not the warmest, but still adequate climate.

No less popular place for New Year’s vacation is Abkhazia – quite budget, but at the same time a good idea for celebrating the main winter holiday. Here, too, you will not be able to swim in the warm sea, but you can visit interesting places, go on excursions, celebrate the celebration in a picturesque location.

For a holiday vacation you can also choose Armenia. There are direct flights from Moscow and some other cities. The main thing is to take care of buying tickets and booking hotels in advance. Also consider a trip to Egypt, the warm sea will be a bonus.

Choose and any other countries and cities that can not be called desirable for most tourists in the New Year. Remember that many of them are great not only for good prices on flights in the New Year, but also for the relatively inexpensive cost of accommodation.

Those who want to go away for New Year’s holidays and at the same time save money, it makes sense to pay attention to the opportunity to spend a pleasant time. Especially since during this period tourists are offered a lot of exciting festive events for every taste.
