Destinations Won’t Be Anywhere Near as Busy
Winter, even though it tends to be cheaper, is also a far less busy time of year for travel. Most people want to go away when it’s sunny out and there’s little chance of rain. Most people also tend to be spending their money on Christmas presents and party planning during this time! So take advantage of this and book your trip during December, January, or February. If you can handle a little cold weather, you’ll have a great time!
You’ll Only Need Half the Budget
Half the budget and twice the time! A trip in winter, like we said above, is going to be way cheaper than any other time of the year. Demand is low and you can use this situation to make your budget go far further than you’re used to. You may even only need half the budget, so if you’re struggling to save up or your travel plans, you won’t have to worry anymore! As much as you can manage will be fine for a winter trip, as long as you’ve covered the cost of the flights and the hotel.
Hot Climates Tend to Be Milder
If you stay in the northern hemisphere, hot climates will be a lot milder and more temperate. places like Cyprus and The Maldives are two very popular destinations for this very reason. The feeling of ‘winter sun’ makes a country like this the best place to holiday in october, and whilst you’ll still need to pack sun cream, you won’t need to rely on the hotel air con as much!
It’s also why winter tickets tend to be a little more affordable; when you want the hot air, you’re going to be more interested in visiting during summer. But if you want the beauty of the destination and a lack of sweat, winter is the time to go.
You Can Buy Some Fun Christmas Gifts
Novelty souvenirs tend to be at an all time high when you travel during winter. You can attend any number of Christmas markets whilst you’re away and bring home a lot of cute, homemade, and customised items for your friends and families. Grab yourself a hot chocolate or a mulled wine as you go round, pick up something warm and sweet to eat, and go on rides with your travel partners.
If you want to travel, book in the winter. Use the last part of the year to make your travel dreams come true - whilst it’s colder, it’s cheaper, it’s more fun, and there’s a lot to do if you’re a festive fan!
