While we all have fantasies of flying around the world to the most beautiful islands and eating the most exotic foods in the most exotic places, the thought of how to fund these escapades can be quite deterring. We think that people who travel must be rich folks, people who just won a lottery or have high-paying jobs because travelling is just too expensive for regular people.
Truth is, it isn’t as complicated as you think, with a bit of planning, dedication, and foresight, you’ll find yourself saving money to enjoy that exciting trip you’ve been dreaming about.
Here are some ideas to get you started.
TRACK YOUR SPENDING
The first thing you need to do to save money is to know where you’re spending it. In an age where you tap an app and lunch comes your way, it’s easy to forget how much we spend daily. Try to make a list of your daily expenses. Once you start paying attention, you’ll automatically want to cut down on activities that lead to unnecessary spending.
OPEN A TRAVEL ACCOUNT
Create a new account with your bank, name it ‘travel fever’ or anything that comes to mind and fund it as often as you can. This strategy has been long recommended by Financial experts. Set up the account in a way that you have no access to it until the period you intend to travel. Each time you check how close you are to your dream amount, make a habit of transferring a little more to the cause, even if it is not a lot.
WATCH OUT FOR SPECIAL DEALS & PLANS
Even though a cluttered inbox can be irksome, it’s not a bad idea to sign up for mailing lists from us at Kairos World Travels.
By signing up for our newsletters, you’ll be able to get updates on discount prices and special deals. Additionally, at KWT, we offer thrift plans, an easy way of travel in which you pay in instalments before your travel date. A 25% upfront payment is required to opt-in for the thrift plan, while the rest of the payment can be spread across days before your travel date.

TRAVEL OFF-SEASON
Planning to travel during the off-season, which is the period most tourist attractions and countries have a low traffic, is another way to save money as you travel. During these periods, tour activities, dining, and accommodation are not as expensive. You would generally find the best deals for convenient prices.
