Traveling as a family can really add to
the costs. Children are often charged a lot more than seems fair and the
overall price of a family holiday can soon get out of hand by the time you
factor in all of the food and activities.
1. Family Camps
An increasingly popular choice for
families is the family camp. Accommodation varies with everything from a basic
tent to well equipped log cabins with all of the modern facilities that you
would expect in a large hotel.
2. Money Saving Booking Tips
When you are booking with children it is
really important to get to know what deals are available. Some companies offer
children’s prices right up to 16 years old, others start to charge full price
at age 3. Depending on the age of your children, one company may prove
substantially cheaper for the same holiday.
Consider your sleeping arrangements
carefully. Some hotels will offer adjoining rooms, others will have family
rooms that sleep children as well as adults. Most hotels will not allow young children
in their own room, so bear this in mind when booking.
If you have more than two children you
may find that an apartment offers better value for money and more usable space.
A two or three bedroom cottage will often be a lot cheaper than two or three
rooms in a hotel.
Use the children as a means of
negotiation. For example, ask for a discount on their air fare or accommodation
or ask for free entrance to an activity while you are booking.
