No-Hassle Travel Hacks with Budget-friendly Accommodation by RedDoorz

After being indoors for so long, it’s time to head out and enjoy what the country has to offer by way of exciting travel destinations. 

The Philippine Travel Survey Report released in 2020 finds that Pinoys love to travel in pairs or groups of up to five persons and are likely to stay for two to three days. The average budget per person is at P1,000 to P2,000 a day and prefer online and digital channels for convenience and reduced contact.  Meanwhile, the Agoda Travel 2021 Surveyshows that majority prioritize short and sweet trips with family and friends, like F & B benefits, early check-ins and late check-outs as deals and discoverability drive the next wave of trip bookings. 

Safety is a priority, and the Department of Tourism assures that there are protocols in place to protect both the travellers and the communities of the different destinations around the country.

Tips for a memorable vacay

This is the best time to book that well-deserved trip, and here are some travel hacks that can make it hassle-free and budget-friendly from RedDoorz:

Plan your timing: This will help you look for flight promos to island destinations such as Palawan or Boracay, or even knowing when there are exciting things happening in the area such as fun town fiestas that are in full swing once again. Going on off-peak seasons can also ensure that you can avoid crowds at popular attractions.

Create an itinerary: While it may be tempting to go YOLO and wing it on your trip, there is much to be said about having a solid plan before you head out. The Department of Tourism has created regional travel circuits that highlight several attractions to appeal to different types of travellers. This can be a helpful guide when checking out the things that interest you in the area, such as tours that focus on culinary, history, nature, wellness, farm, and faith-based tourism. Some basic research online can point to the famous landmarks, best restaurants or shops to visit, to maximize your stay, or you can also look for a local guide  to help you fully-immerse in the travel experience.    

Pack light:  Having  too much baggage can hamper your mobility, and even bring extra costs if you are flying. Plan your OOTDs according to each activity and bring your other necessities so you can travel without worries.    

Prep to shop: Retail therapy works wonders especially when on vacation. It’s nice to bring home snacks, pasalubong  and souvenirs to remind you of this exciting trip.
