Let\u2019s put it right in front, international trips are expensive. From flight tickets to food, sometimes the costs are exorbitant for Indian travelers. Moreover, forex rates today are going to be different than tomorrow which again causes uncertainty. So we at Thomas Cook have come up with some tips and suggestions for your trip to be cost effective. Here are some tips from our end to save money in a foreign currency and help you use your finances smartly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1. Do not exchange forex at the airport!<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This is a mistake that even experienced travelers make. Exchanging foreign currency at the airport is costly compared to exchanging it in the city. Hence, exchanging cash in the city is recommended. If you desperately need to exchange the money, only an exchange of a small amount is suggested.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

2. Know the place:<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Getting to know the place by talking to locals, exploring the area will guide you towards\u00a0 cheap shops to buy and eat food, and the cheapest modes of travel which will definitely help you save money in a foreign currency.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

4. Find the best place to stay:<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Knowing the less expensive and comfortable places to stay can help you save a good number of bucks. It does not necessarily have to be a hotel or resort, one can also stay in hostels and home-stays to cut down expenses. Getting all the info beforehand can be very helpful.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

5. Travel Off-Season:<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Traveling during the summer break or near Christmas would mean expensive flight tickets and hotel bookings. Make use of off-season travel for discounts and lower prices to save money in a foreign currency. Moreover, it would mean less crowds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

6. Walk WalkWalk!<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Taking cabs while traveling within the city can be expensive. Try walking and if the city has a quick rail system, utilize them to save travel costs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

7. Travel Financial Products:<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It is prudent to make use of products like travel cards and traveler\u2019s cheques to make management of money easier and smoother. Use of Forex cards<\/a> makes the currency exchange much easier and affordable as a wide variety of currencies are acceptable worldwide. Traveler\u2019s cheque is another safe way of carrying out transactions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Last words<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Managing finances on an International trip may seem hard. However, a lot can be saved when you go with the right information. Keep the money safe and never underestimate the use of Forex cards.\u00a0Happy traveling!<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
