How to save money at the end of the year?
The first step to saving money is to plan ahead, so create a budget for what you intend to spend. With a budget in hand, try not to stray from your plans so you don't end up with unnecessary debts.
Additionally, monitoring ticket prices months in advance is also a good strategy for saving money, since the closer it gets to vacations and holidays, the more expensive tickets become.
In other words, with monthly monitoring, you can buy tickets at the best discount. Another effective tip is to use a miles program to buy tickets, rent cars, and book accommodation.
It is worth noting that more affordable can be the solution for many people, since they spend part of the day sightseeing and do not even have time to stay at the hotel.
International travel: is it possible to save money?
For those planning to travel abroad at the end of the year, care and planning should be even greater, since the destination is outside Brazil. Therefore, the ideal approach is to take out travel insurance, especially if your destination is Europe or the United States.
This is because, in the event of accidents, tourists often end up at private hospitals, paying extremely high amounts. In other words, it is more worthwhile to spend a little extra and take out travel insurance than to have to spend a lot of money later.
In addition to travel insurance, set aside some extra money to spend at your destination, especially because the currencies are different, which can create the false impression that things are cheaper, for example.
How do Brazilians plan?
Booking.com conducted a survey with 24,179 people in 32 countries, including Brazil. Thus, the study showed that 74% of travelers from Brazil seek to save money, always choosing the best prices.
In addition, 75% of the survey respondents stated that they prioritize travel services with discounts. 66% of these people plan their trips well in advance to get the best value for money.
