5 Tips for Creating a Budget-Friendly Year-End Vacation Plan!

It doesn't feel like the Christmas and New Year holidays are just around the corner, this is the best moment to take a vacation. This makes many people not want to miss this long holiday moment. In addition, the year-end holidays are also a favorite for many people because many tourist spots offer various lively events and festivals.

Well, the high desire to vacation results in a spike in prices for most hotels and flights every time the year-end holiday season approaches. But don't worry, you can outsmart it so that your vacation remains economical, enjoyable, and unforgettable.

Tips for Making an Economical Vacation Plan

Here are 5 ways you can do to save on year-end holiday expenses:

1. Choose non-mainstream tourist destinations

Before planning a vacation, choosing a tourist spot is the most important thing, of course, this depends on your taste and desires. There are many tourist spots in Indonesia to choose from, ranging from natural tourism, historical museums, or shopping tourism for those who love shopping.

However, don't expect to visit popular destinations because they will definitely be crowded with visitors. It’s better to try to choose destinations that are rarely visited by people. Visiting places that have not yet become tourist destinations can also provide a unique story because the places are relatively quieter, allowing you to enjoy them more freely.

2. Don't buy last-minute tickets

Success in vacationing is planning the trip well. Therefore, if you intend to vacation at the end of the year, plan it well in advance, at least 3-1 month beforehand. This will help you focus on finding travel tickets so you don't run out and can get cheaper ticket prices.

3. Utilize a friend's car

The saying "many friends, many fortunes" is indeed true. The more friends you have, the more they can help you on every trip. For example, when you arrive in a city, contact your friend and try to borrow their car; hopefully, they will be willing to take you around. So, you get a borrowed car and a free guide.

4. Enjoy free accommodation

Actually, for accommodation, big cities in Indonesia generally already have many options for cheap lodging. However, staying at the home of a friend from the Daihatsu Club or relatives can also be a great alternative.

With this free accommodation option, you can save on lodging costs or even meal expenses while strengthening your ties.

5. Arrive safely at your destination and return home

Wherever your vacation destination is, make sure you arrive safely back home. Pray before leaving and every time you do activities because returning home is the main goal of every journey.

And always try to maintain good health before or after taking a vacation. The way is to eat regularly, get enough rest, and exercise regularly to keep your condition fit. With a fit body, you will enjoy the year-end holiday comfortably, making your vacation even more enjoyable.

So, prepare your vacation plan wisely, so you can enjoy your holiday comfortably while keeping your finances stable in the long term.

Come on, plan your year-end vacation soon, and close this year with memorable and enjoyable moments!
