South African travelers advised on budget travel strategies
To combat rising fuel and accommodation costs, South African travelers are encouraged to use strategic planning to stretch their budgets. Corné Alberts, National Marketing Manager at ANEW Hotels & Resorts, suggests several methods to maximize value.
Key strategies include selecting accommodation based on the day of the week; business hotels may offer better rates on weekends, while leisure properties often provide better mid-week deals. Additionally, travelers should compare prices on a property’s direct website against third-party booking platforms to find exclusive seasonal promotions or incentives. Utilizing loyalty rewards and exploring destinations closer to home are also recommended to reduce overall trip expenses.
