Budget Travel Made Easy with Proper Planning

Budget Travel Made Easy with Proper Planning

Article by Ara L.

A well-thought-out vacation and itinerary can help you avoid any troubles you may encounter during a trip. And for an exotic and vast place like Langkawi in Malaysia, keeping a detailed schedule can help you to fully explore the culture and breathtaking sights of the area. You don’t need to be too meticulous about every tiny detail, but it is ideal to start jotting down the things you’ll need a few months prior to your trip. Doing this allows you plenty of leeway to carefully examine all the options available and hunt for the best bargains in terms of accommodation, airfare, and tours packages.

Budget for the basic but major expenses such as hotel, airfare, food, and tours. Then allot for incidental expenses like additional hotel charges, shopping expenses, and emergency cases. Doing so will keep you from spending too much. Of course, it’s always best to be enthusiastic about your upcoming holiday, but don’t create unrealistic expectations. Because more often than not, such expectations are almost never met. This just makes you feel frustrated by the inevitable shortcomings of the trip and ruining what could otherwise be a great vacation for you or your loved ones.

Prepare further by researching for hotels that do not compromise comfort and quality even if their rates are affordable. Read reviews about the hotel and see if the location is safe or near the places you want to visit, rooms and facilities are child-friendly (if you’re travelling with kids), and the hotel delivers on its promises.

Take Kampung Tok Senik Resort in Langkawi, Malaysia for example. Here, a blissful hotel experience is possible without spending a large sum of money. From now until August 29, 2011, you can avail of the resort’s Balik Kampung Special Promo 2011. This package includes a stay at the resort hotel’s Deluxe Room and a delicious breakfast, which you can avail for a very low price.

Inside each of this Langkawi hotel’s Deluxe Room is a tranquil haven furnished with air-conditioning, double bed, coffee/ tea maker, hair dryer, ironing board, mini-bar, cold and hot shower, television, and mini-CD component. These basic yet efficient conveniences help cradle you into a serene and undisturbed slumber.

Kampung Tok Senik Resort is strategically situated on the charming Langkawi Island in the Kedah State, northwestern Malaysia. On your way to the resort you’ll pass by clusters of traditional Malay kampung houses that speak highly of the island’s culture and history. Indeed, a quick and fuss-free vacation can be had as long as you plan ahead of time.
