Tightening the purse strings but still dreaming of an escape? TUI is sharing their top budgeting hacks that can help you spend less on your escape and make your money go further while you’re away.
Save big with last minute deals
You can grab a great late deal when you book last minute, from beach breaks to city escapes, on tui.co.uk or by visiting your local TUI store. Or plan ahead and book early for next year to get first pick of the best breaks and offers. You can secure your holiday with a low deposit and spread the cost, with free kids places available on selected holidays.
Book an all-inclusive holiday
All‑inclusive holidays are great for those on a budget. You pay one upfront price that covers your accommodation, meals, drinks and in-resort entertainment, giving you a total cost and helping to remove some of the day‑to‑day spending that usually causes costs to creep.; by bundling the biggest expenses together, you avoid surprise charges and can relax knowing most of your trip is already paid for. TUI MAGIC LIFE hotels offer all-inclusive around the clock, with loads of activities included too, from archery to Zumba, while TUI BLUE hotels are another strong contender with everything from cocktail-making classes and kids’ clubs to sunset yoga included.
Stay connected with an eSim
While there’s no roaming charges in most EU destinations, longer haul holidays outside of the EU come with an added cost for using your phone. By sorting an eSim before departure, you can forget about surprise phone bills later. It’s easy to set up, and there’s no need to change your number, meaning you can easily keep in touch with friends and family back home and use your maps app to help find the best spots when you’re out and about.
Choose travel friendly payment options
Exchange rates and bank fees can quickly eat into your holiday budget, so choosing the right way to pay can make a real difference. Taking out cash before you leave for your trip, or using debit cards with low or no foreign transaction fees like Revolut can help you avoid unnecessary charges.
