The majority of people are not financially well off, but would like to
be. Sometimes you can temporarily live like the "rich and famous" and
enjoy the excitement of luxury travel.Tourism Indonesia
So, as the saying goes, if you have champagne taste on a beer budget,
let's get going.
We'll explore a few techniques on how you can enjoy luxury travel on a
budget.
A laid out plan will be the most important aspect of obtaining luxury
deals and accommodations without spending any more money than a lower
rated resort. Travel in style with the following strategies.
<b>Technique #1. Find Affinity And Loyalty Programs.</b>
Capitalize on the flexibility and leverage you have in the competitive
travel industry. Many companies want your business and offer lots of
incentives to compete for your travel funds and to keep you as a
customer.
For example, if you provide a service, you typically look out for your
best customers and give extra perks to keep them coming back. These
companies reward travelers who remain loyal to them with unadvertised
specials and extras. This is the general idea behind frequent traveler
programs and such.
<b>Technique #2. Select The Right Travel Specialists To Work With. </b>
As you're researching destinations and comparing pricing online, note
that all online travel companies aren't equal. Lots of agencies have
preferred status with suppliers who can in turn pass on these deals to
you.
Again, this is just like we talked about earlier, only this time, the
companies and suppliers are getting the great deals to pass on to you.
<b>Technique #3. Turn Problems Into Opportunities.</b>
Choose a few top-notch companies that you would like to use over and
over again so that you can obtain loyalty bonuses and discounts. If
they make an error, take advantage of the situation in a professional
manner, but don't take advantage of the situation.
These companies desire to maintain consistent levels of quality and rely
on their customers to provide constructive feedback and
satisfaction/dissatisfaction. If a representative is not willing to
work with you, ask around to find someone who will.
<b>Technique #4. Just Ask. </b>
One of the easiest and simplest techniques you can do is to just ask.
All they can say is no. Sometimes a special occasion may be enough to
get you an unexpected surprise. Simply do it and don't be afraid to
ask.
You can simply ask for an upgraded vehicle, accommodation, or airline
seat. It doesn't hurt and you're no worse off than you were before you
asked. In other words, you have nothing to lose, and everything to
gain.
<b>Technique #5. Timing Is Everything.</b>
Keep this in mind that travel is at it's most expensive during holidays
and other peak times of the year. However, if the time of year to travel
is important to you, such as a special event you'll be attending,
traveling during major holidays or school vacations, and if you desire
to get luxury travel for the best value you want, try to book as far in
advance as possible.
Don't forget the power of the internet. It can be one of your most
effective tools in researching destinations, while getting luxury travel
at bargain prices.
Have fun and happy travels!
