We often read articles about the most luxurious hotels and about expensive holidays on private islands. But the journalists of “MSN Travel” have had enough of snobbish resorts and have decided to prepare a slightly different chart – one of the cheapest travel destinations.
Such charts are very successful among Americans now, as with the continuing depreciation of the dollar, more and more of them are unpleasantly surprised by the fact that their vacations in Europe are much more expensive than they once have been. They complain that even in Eastern Europe there are no such great deals as before.
So, the average American has decided to search for a vacation at a better price in Southeastern Asia, Africa and Latin America. Not only is it cheaper there but also there is a number of exotic entertainment options very different from the ones we are used to.
Laos
Most countries in Southeastern Asia are pretty cheap and Laos is maybe the best combination of a good time and low prices.
As tourism is still not very popular in the country, local people do not see foreigners as “a source of money” and are very hospitable and well-meaning.
You can find accommodation for less than 20 dollars per night and the restaurants on the main streets serve French and local specialties at simply absurd prices.
Bali
Bali tempts tourists with wonderful beaches, volcano craters and rice fields. The island is far away from the riots that tear apart some regions of Indonesia.
It impresses with countless Indus temples and shrines. Even in the most low-cost hotels, where the accommodation is between 10 and 20 dollars, the rooms are pretty and the furniture is beautifully carved. Between 10 and 20 dollars is also the price for a bungalow on the beach.
Vietnam
After decades of wars, Vietnam is finally calm. Today, the country’s economy is recovering and the number of foreign tourists increases.
In the noisy and picturesque cities Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh, you can sleep at a casual place for a few dollars a night, and for 30 dollars you can rent a hotel room with air conditioning and hot water. Whichever market you go to, for a dollar only you would get a warm dish and a cold beer.
India
In India, you can find accommodation for less than 20 dollars a night. A normal hotel room with some conveniences and good food would cost you 40-50 dollars. There are a lot of landmarks in the country – the beautiful city Delhi, Taj Mahal, the palaces and the fortresses of Rajasthan; you can even go to a safari with camels in the night.
Zambia
Most people relate the phrase “safari in Africa” with a bill of thousands of dollars paid to an American tour operator. But it is completely possible for you to organize a safari yourself after you have arrived in Zambia.
The other big attraction of Africa is also situated in the country – the Victoria Waterfall. There is a camping for 5 dollars a night next to it and you can rent a hut for 40-50 dollars which includes food.
Tunisia
Tunisia is a modern country with beautiful mosques and desert landscapes. Everywhere, there are plenty of small markets offering colorful carpets, pots and all kinds of beautiful artifacts at ridiculous prices.
You can see the ancient city Carthage and the Roman ruins and, after enjoying the architectural monuments, you can have a rest at a Mediterranean beach. The accommodation in a simple room in a touristic hostel in 15 dollars, and for 50 you can rent a room with all facilities plus food.
Honduras
Honduras attracts with the forests in which one can see howler monkeys and all kinds of colorful birds. Boat trips, tours to the ruins of the Mayas, etc. are organized. The Bay Islands are famous for the conditions for diving and all kinds of diving sports.
An abundant dinner costs about 8 dollars and a room in a decent hotel – 25 dollars. If you do not mind sleeping in a hammock, it can even be cheaper.
Guatemala
In Guatemala, one can learn a lot about the ancient Mayan culture. The ruins of a big Mayan city – Tikal, are undoubtedly the most attractive spot for tourists.
Everywhere in the country, there are bungalows and small family hotels where one can have an accommodation for 20-30 dollars a night.
Peru
In Peru you can sleep in a low cost hotel for 25 dollars or in an average one for 50 dollars. The biggest attraction is Machu Picchu, but the tours to the less famous ruins by the city are also worthwhile. Many picturesque trips along the river are also offered.
Buenos Aires, Argentina
In this city, you will see enormous boulevards with clubs at every step where they dance tango. A dinner is about 10 dollars, a bed in a hostel is 9 dollars, and one in a decent hotel – 40-50 dollars.
The resort Mar del Plata is legendary for its night life. We recommend you to go to the glaciers of Patagonia or to see the penguins in Punta Tombo.
