How to Save Money on Your Summer Break

If you are considering booking a summer holiday for 2012 but you haven’t a very big budget to work with you needn’t worry, as you can easily find the ideal holiday for you without spending too much. All you need to do is keep your wits about you and do your research when looking for suitable breaks and you should be able to shave a considerable amount of money off the cost of your holiday, even if you will be going overseas.

Many people assume that in order to save money on their summer holiday this year they need to stay in the UK, but this isn’t necessarily the case. You don’t have to spend more than you can afford to on an overseas holiday and you could actually go abroad for just a couple of hundred pounds, which could be well within your budget. You might even be able to save enough money to give yourself more spending money while on your break, or you could make the smart option and keep this money in your bank account!

The first thing to do when looking for a cheap holiday is to choose a low budget holiday location. There are a lot of cheap places to stay within Europe and other locations around the world, and they will give you a chance to enjoy an amazing break while saving money.

Croatia has proved to be one of the most popular places to visit on a budget in 2012 and many people have flocked to this sun-drenched country already. Much research has gone into finding the cheapest location in the world for a summer break and Croatia has come out on top for 2012, although Spain was a close second. Either of these countries would be an ideal choice for a range of holidaymakers. Families, couples and groups of friends would all be able to enjoy an amazing break in either Spain or Croatia, and there are many other ways to save money as well.

For example, going on holiday with a large group can help to spread the cost of accommodation, which is often the most expensive factor of any holiday. You could rent a holiday home or an apartment together so that you could all stay in comfortable surroundings without spending more than you could afford to when holidaying with a smaller group.
