JC. Princen For many travelers, the travel restrictions put in place in the wake of the outbreak have only increased their desire to travel, however spending budgets are more limited than ever. If you’re already thinking about your bucket list for 2022’s travels here’s a list of alternatives to help you save money while traveling around the world.
From free walking tours, to getting cash back on tickets to attractions with tourist cards, here is our complete guide.
House Swap
It can bring back memories from The Holiday – and accommodation may not be as glamorous, but house swaps can be the perfect opportunity to save money while traveling all over the globe for people who are in the know. As you are contemplating ways to travel and don’t have the space to stay, another around the globe might be thinking the same. If the person you are thinking of visiting is the city or country you’d like to visit and in reverse, why not make an arrangement?
When you’re living in the city in their residence, you’ll remain in their home, and they’ll be staying at your at home. This way everyone gets a cut of the cost. The Love and the Home Swap as well as Home Exchange are popular websites that allow house swaps.
Join free walking tours
Walking tours were designed to provide tourists with a unique approach to experiencing a brand new city. The majority are free, but certain tours require a fee. Either way, it’s a healthier, cheaper and more environmentally-friendly way of enjoying a new destination, plus you’ll make friends along the way. Sandemans arranges walks for free throughout all of the UK and Europe such as Lisbon as well as Berlin.
Use tourism card
Tourism cards can reduce costs for those who want to experience everything the city has to offer. They generally offer discounts to popular tourist sites within a specific city or nation. Our Love City Card is one example. It provides advantages, priority access and discounts on tourist attractions across 29 European cities as well as 16 countries.
Be a loyal customer
Airlines usually offer loyal customers discounts or upgrades, access to lounges and, occasionally, free flights. If you are able ensure you stick with the same airline every time you travel to accumulate points that you can redeem to get free travel benefits.
Volunteer at major events
Another way to attend an important sporting or tournament event (if you’re not fortunate enough to secure tickets) is to volunteer. A lot of large-scale events are simply too big for organizers to manage on their own, so they need volunteers. FIFA uses thousands of volunteers to help with major events such as the World Cup where the entire journey is for absolutely free. The organization typically provides meals and accommodation for volunteers. The volunteers will be able to explore the area during their stay in the city.
