Cheapest Travel Destinations To Go To This Year

Travel on your mind, but no money in your bank? No problem! You can always go on a backpacking trip to some of the most beautiful destinations this year. The best part is that these places are a lot cheaper than your usual resort towns. Planning a trip within a budget is not easy. The first step is looking for a destination. Going to places where the currency is cheaper than your home country is a great idea to save a good amount of money. You can save further by opting to stay in homestays or guesthouses. Not only are they a lot cheaper than five-star hotels, they are the perfect places to stay if you want to soak in the local culture. Here is a list of places where you can go this year without burning a hole in your pocket:

Havana, Cuba

The relationship between Cuba and America has become much better than before. Now, tourists can easily travel to this Caribbean island and enjoy the lovely beaches, salsa bars, and the carnival of Santiago. The best part is that this country is any budget traveler’s dream come true. Compared to the Caribbean islands, prices are cheaper. But Cuba has a second currency just for tourists, and it is equal to the valuation of US dollars but it is possible to stay in Havana for $5o a day.

Bali, Indonesia

Bali is a land of breath-taking beauty. Every year, travelers head on to this slice of paradise to enjoy its beaches, volcano, lush green paddy fields, wonderful temples, and of course, its amazing culture. Though the airfare might not come very cheap, the destination makes up for it. There are tons of unique homestays here, and if you are good at finding lovely places, you might discover some hidden gems for as less as $11 a night! Even if you spend big and travel a lot in Bali, $50 a day should be enough.

Krabi Province, Thailand

Thailand is an amazing place to travel. It doesn’t matter if you want to stay in luxury resorts or cheap inns. Most people flock Thailand for its lovely beaches in Pattaya and Phuket. But here we have listed Krabi as our destination of choice. The province of Krabi is even cheaper than Phuket and much more wild and rugged. The rustic lifestyle and relaxing ambience are actually refreshing as the other places in Bangkok are too touristy. So, if you like offbeat, Krabi is for you. If you are after the famous night life of Thailand, Phuket should be your destination. Expect your budget to go up a bit if you are planning to spend your days and nights drinking a lot of alcohol.

Fez, Morocco

From the beaches of Andaman Sea, let’s head to the desert. Morocco is a melting pot of picturesque mountains, desert, and the nomad culture in all its glory. If you are looking for a budget-friendly city, and you feel like Marrakech is a bit too crowded with tourists, head to Fez. Here you can stay at a traditional Riad for about $60 a night, and get tagine dinners for as cheap as $6. If that sounds too good to be true, you must head to their hamams where you can get a spa-like treatment for a fraction of a price you pay for a spa session in your country.

Piran, Slovenia

Eastern Europe is a highly underrated place which is not on the tourist radar yet. Before the place gets too crowded and loses its charm and authenticity, you must visit it. Head to Slovenia which is a lovely destination for tourists. If you love the snow-capped mountains and rollings hills of Switzerland and Austria, or the charming and pretty villages of Italy, chances are you will fall in love with Slovenia. It is a mix of all these countries but comes with a less exorbitant price tag. Piran is an excellent beach town situated on the Adriatic Sea.

Now that we’ve given you choices for cheap travel destinations, it’s time for you to plan. For flights, booking them early, adding your air miles, and searching in multiple sites might often give you a great deal. Remember, traveling on a budget doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice shopping, eating local food or staying in a luxurious place. It can all be included in your holiday if you do your research well!
