3 Ways To Save Money On Your Summer Vacation Travel Plans

Even though Las Vegas is always lots of fun, it’s always nice to get out of town and do a little traveling. Experts offer some advice with these summer vacation money tips so you can save some cash and still enjoy.

Everyone is looking for ways to make ends meet these days. Inflation has hit everyone pretty hard. Needless to say, traveling costs a lot of money when you consider air travel or gas for your car. Add accommodation expenses. And then, you want to have some fun once you get there, and entertainment is going to cost you too.

So, if you still want to have a fun without overspending, here are some summer vacation money tips to help you save some cash from Fred Harrington, CEO of the coupon website Bountii.

Some summer vacation destinations are busier at the beginning of the season, and some later in the warm months. Here in Las Vegas, kids get out of school earlier than in most U.S. locales. So, traveling and vacationing in a place where kids are still in school will be cheaper earlier in the summer or later in the summer.

Additionally, the most famous tourist spots don’t always make for the best summer vacation. So, it’s always a good idea to do a little internet research to try and find a destination that’s not as busy as the obvious places. You’ll certainly save money if there’s not as much demand to vacation there.

Here’s another summer vacation money tip that seems like a no-brainer. However, many people, including me, don’t make use of it on a consistent basis. Why not search the internet for coupon sites like Bountii?

Or check all of your memberships and subscriptions. Many offer discounts on travel and hotel accommodation to entice you to sign up with them.

Personally, I have never taken advantage of an all-inclusive travel package. But I do have friends who have really enjoyed their all-inclusive vacations. Not only is this a great summer vacation money tip, but you can also save cash when you travel like this any time of the year.

Hotel or resort accommodation for your stay, along with food and beverage, are normally included in all-inclusive vacation packages. Of course, this means you may not be able to indulge in some of the local cuisine at your destination. However, you can always choose a night or two to venture away from your resort for dinner.

These are just a few summer vacation money tips to help save you some cash, yet still offer lots of fun and relaxation. Enjoy, and we wish you safe travels.

There are incredible destinations that deserve a spot on your travel bucket list. The world is full of incredible places that can fill our lives with wonder and excitement. These places might seem like they're from a dream, but they are real and waiting for us to explore. Let's take a journey into the joy of travel and discover some amazing destinations that you should add to your travel bucket list.

Picture a place where rocks and caves create a scene that looks like it's straight out of a fairy tale. This is Cappadocia, Turkey. Its unique rock formations and ancient cave houses are a true marvel of nature. Travel a bit further, and you'll arrive at Vaadhoo Island in the Maldives. When night falls, the ocean lights up with tiny, glowing plankton. This magical phenomenon turns the shoreline into something out of this world.

But the wonders don't stop there. In Bolivia, the Salar de Uyuni, a vast salt flat, transforms into a giant mirror when it rains. This surreal sight makes us question what's real and what's not, proving that nature loves to play tricks on us in the most delightful ways. In Northern Ireland, the Giant's Causeway will make you feel like you've stepped onto another planet. Its neat arrangement of rock columns looks like the work of a skilled artist.

The world is a treasure trove of experiences waiting to be enjoyed, offering us a chance to witness the surreal and the enchanting firsthand. As travelers, we're curious about the world's unique treasures. Many places deserve special attention on your travel bucket list, whether you're after a serene beach experience, an off-the-grid retreat, or an exploration of a new city abroad.

Take a look at these eight seemingly unreal places to add to your travel bucket list.

This Arizona canyon was naturally carved by rainwater streams within the sandstone. The Navajo Nation gave it the name 'The place where water runs through rocks.' Visit Arizona explains that the Upper Antelope Canyon tour is more frequented due to increased sunlight and towering walls reaching 120 feet. Alternatively, the Lower Antelope Canyon tour is equally remarkable, providing visitors with an immersive encounter among the swirling sandstone walls.

Among the world's largest springs, the Grand Prismatic measures an expansive 370 feet in diameter, exceeding the size of a football field. Its vibrant appearance stems from bands of orange, yellow, and green that encircle the deep blue waters. These diverse colors originate from different strains of thermophile bacteria, thriving in the progressively cooler waters around the spring, as explained by Yellowstone National Park. For a bird's-eye-like view of the Grand Prismatic, they suggest visitors follow the half-mile Fairy Falls trail to a lookout.

Located in Turkmenistan's Karakum Desert, the Door to Hell is a large fiery crater. It emerged when a natural gas field accidentally caught fire in 1971 and has been burning continuously since then, according to National Geographic. A well-visited tourist spot, the Door to Hell permits visitors to hike down into the crater for a close view of the flames and an opportunity to experience the unique atmosphere of the site. The Door to Hell, also referred to as the Darvaza Gas Crater, is located in a rural part of the country.

Found along Iceland's South Coast, the Diamond Beach is a volcanic black sand shoreline adjacent to the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. Ice blocks from the glacier lagoon wash ashore after breaking into smaller pieces at sea, as mentioned in the Diamond Beach Travel Guide. The beach is also a natural habitat for seals.

According to the Tongass National Forest, the Mendenhall Glacier is among the numerous expansive glaciers originating from the Juneau Icefield, an area spanning 1500 square miles of rock, snow, and ice. The glacier gradually advances under the influence of gravity, descending down the slope. Over time, it carves the bedrock and erodes during its 13-mile path until it reaches Mendenhall Lake.

Located on the Oregon coast near Cape Perpetua, there's a large sinkhole that appears to swallow seawater continuously, resembling a bottomless pit. According to Yachats Oregon, it's often called the "drainpipe of the Pacific." They explain that the well is actually a hole in the rock that gives the impression of draining ocean water. Some researchers believe this well might have started as a sea cave shaped by waves. Over time, its roof likely collapsed, creating openings at the top and bottom, which spray ocean water.

Found close to the town of Gryfino in West Pomerania, Poland, the Crooked Forest consists of 400 peculiarly contorted pine trees. As revealed by Discovery, these pine trees were planted approximately in 1930, back when the area was part of the German province of Pomerania. Starting from the ground, the pine trees exhibit a distinctive feature: they grow with a sharp 90-degree bend towards the north, before gracefully straightening up towards the sky.

The beach is named for its pink sand, which comes from tiny organisms in the coral reefs nearby. Visitors can swim, snorkel, and see marine life like sea turtles and manta rays in the clear water. The beach also has great views of hills and turquoise waters.
