HOW TO TRAVEL ON A BUDGET
Vacation and travel shouldn't be exclusive to only those with cash to spare! Raising a family, maintaining your home and keeping those bills paid has become the focus for most Americans, however, the need to take a vacation to get away and relax should be a priority!
Travel is good for the soul and presents a great opportunity to explore new places and experience new adventures. The Lake West Chamber of Commerce knows how important vacations are and would like to share some tips for traveling on a budget - and why not make your destination right here in our beautiful Lake of the Ozarks!
PLAN AHEAD:
Planning ahead for a trip is great for so many reasons. The opportunity to start saving money for your vacation, and looking ahead for discounted hotel rooms, air flights, and other activities available at your destination are all great reasons to start planning early. Travel rates change during the course of the year based on demand and tend to fluctuate as your travel dates are approaching.
CHOOSING YOUR DESTINATION:
Do your research to discover places that are budget-friendly. The Lake of the Ozarks is the perfect place to vacation as there are activities for everyone to enjoy. From dining at our locally owned restaurants to golfing and water sports, you are sure to find something to fill every day of your well-deserved getaway!
TRAVEL "OFF-SEASON":
There is no guarantee for weather no matter what the season or time of the year, but traveling off-season will save you money, and your destination will be less crowded and easier to explore and enjoy. Instead of paying for tours, explore the area on your own, using information that can be found online or from the local Chamber of Commerce. The Lake West Chamber of Commerce has information on all the activities and amenities that the West Side of the Lake of the Ozarks has to offer - just give us a call or visit our website to learn more.
REWARD POINTS:
Investing in a credit card that offers travel rewards and welcome bonuses is a great way to save on travel expenses. This type of travel also calls for planning in advance. By accruing and redeeming your reward points, you can save on your big expenses such as hotels and air flights.
SHARE YOUR VACATION:
Have family or friends that are wanting to get away as well? Sharing the expenses of your vacation is a great way to travel and save money at the same time. There are accommodations available to rent, such as condos, or homes that house multiple guests, and offer the amenities you would have at home. Bringing groceries to prepare food will help avoid the cost of eating out for every meal. The West Side of the Lake of the Ozarks has a variety of places available to rent, some that are lakefront with beautiful views and lake access right outside the door!
Whether you are a seasoned traveler or a first-time vacationer, we hope these tips will help you plan your perfect getaway.
The Lake West Chamber of Commerce would love to welcome you to our beautiful area, and the chance to introduce you to all there is to enjoy while you are here!
