Opinion
The current situation of the Nigerian
economy has dampened the hearts of so many citizens and curtailed a number of
their activities…especially traveling.
Even those who normally would travel in luxury are now thinking twice
about hitting the road. A vacation filled with private jets, luxury
accommodations, champagne and fancy food, however, does not have to be a
far-fetched fantasy. There are ways Nigerians can travel like a millionaire
without having to sell their plots of land or sabotage your credit score. Jumia
Travel shares four travel tips to add a little grandeur to your next getaway
without breaking bank.
Travel in the off-season
A perfect way to travel like a millionaire is to stay in
Luxury hotels or resorts off-season. Vacationers who visit during the
off-season stand to save a lot at this idyllic locale. The views are the same, the accommodations
are the same, but the prices are most usually slashed in half. From mid-January
through April, are usually cheaper that mid-April through Dec. So, unless you
are set on enjoying a particular celebration of holiday in Luxury, it makes
sense to visit when rates are more affordable.
Consider countries where the dollar
is worth more.
Take a trip to exotic locations in South America, Africa,
Asia or India rather than the U.S., Canada or Europe. These locations have
food, attractions and accommodations that typically cost a lot less and the
exchange rate falls will usually fall in your favor. The Luxury experience in
these areas are not only superb as the environs are most usually picturesque,
you get to experience opulence at very minimal costs.
Go for a resort apartment
Instead of booking fancy luxury hotels where you will have to
pay for room service, food, laundry, etc., rent an apartment. The process of
finding and renting a resort apartment is not a tedious one, you can find a
list of resort hotels that offer this type of accommodation for the destination
you have in mind online. You will also see lots of reasonable rates, as well as
peak and off-peak deals. With a resort
apartment, you can go shopping for groceries and cook your own favorite meals
at a cheaper rate and if you must dine out, you will find numerous restaurants,
coffee shops and around the area. You get to save a whole lot of money and
enjoy the luxury of a resort.
Schedule your flights at the right
times
The cost of transportation is a huge item on any traveler’s
list as it is usually one of the most expensive parts of any trip, including
luxury vacations. Fortunately, there are ways to minimize costs! Like your favorite high street store,
airlines have periods when they do sales or kick up promos which are usually
favorable to all range of customers from first class to economy, try and book
your flight around those periods. Also, you will find that airlines drop their
prices to destinations that are not very popular, you can decide to route your
flights in such a way that you can take advantage of this variation in the
ticket price. Finally, going on a luxury trip does not imply that you must
travel first-class. Instead, buy an economy ticket, save some money and spend
it having much more fun on your luxury trip.
