SEPTEMBER is tourism month. Tourism does not have to be expensive.

With good forward planning you could find yourself travelling very cheaply, with that bit of extra cash in your pocket allowing you another week (or even two) of travelling and adventures.

The first rule of cheap travel is to do some homework and plan ahead.

The biggest travel costs will be transport and accommodation and this is the area in which savings can be made.

Booking in advance with Budget Airlines could save one huge amounts of money. Checking dates (and times) around your preferred time of travel can help you save more.

Airlines adjust prices according to demand and flexible schedules can be a great way to find a great deal.

Sho'Left has local destinations that are cheap. Tourism is not only for overseas. You can visit local places and find out how much of your country you don't know.
