Filipinos are known for close family ties. We love to spend quality time with our loved ones whenever possible, even if it’s just a regular weekend bonding. Time is not a problem, but often it’s the budget that holds us back to go on vacation with the entire family.

If we’ll wait for the perfect time, then most probably we’ll be waiting our whole life before we could go on a travel. Too many places to visit, so little time on our side. We can’t afford to waste a day worrying about money.


Here are a few tips on how to spend a budget-friendly vacation with your family


Plan Ahead

“If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail”-- simple and literal as it is. It’s not everyday that you can afford to spend a vacation with the entire family, that’s why when given the chance, map out a clear itinerary to ensure that you’ll be able to maximize that trip. In planning, rush and last minute decision-making is avoided. Rush decisions often lead to inconvenience and you’ll never know when lady luck is on your side.


Contact Local Travel Agency

Shop around and choose which among the local travel agencies offer the latest and affordable vacation packages. One easy way is online surfing where you can easily contact an agency before purchasing a travel deal. Just be cautious about bogus travel agencies. If the offer is too good to be true, then you have to think twice. Confirm with the agency, read reviews about the company, and check if it’s an accredited member of the PTAA.


Take Advantage of Deals and Promos

Travel the Philippines all year round by availing vacation packages offered by accredited travel agencies. With such amazing deals, discounts and everything that comes with it, even with limited budget, you and your family will surely enjoy a trip of a lifetime. A 5-pax trip with 15% discount and complimentary breakfast? Well, you can get even better deals if your family of 10 will travel together!


Avoid Peak Season

Summer and Holidays are peak seasons, and although it is the time wherein a lot of vacation packages are up for grabs, still you have to consider comfort. Are you prepared to mingle with a lot of vacationers, both locals and foreigners? Isn’t it much convenient if the place is not that crowded? You’ll get to enjoy the place and it’s natural beauty to the fullest when you have space to wander.


Discover the mystery and beauty of the Philippines and take full advantage of  vacation packages made available by different local travel agencies. Never make lack of budget a reason not to spend a vacation your family deserves.
