subject: Affordable Group Summer Holidays [print this page] When travelling in a group on holiday it can sometimes be tough trying to please everyone. However if you all stick together and get along, there are various ways to save money on your trip.
Dinner deals
After accommodation, food is likely to be your next big spend. Choose self-catering and do a big shop at the start of your break to save on breakfast and essentials - make sure you split the bill at the till to avoid getting stung for the groceries. When it comes to eating out, you could try ordering a few smaller plates to share instead of a main and starter each. A great idea for a cheap lunch is to picnic on the beach, just make sure you remember to pack a corkscrew.
See more, spend less
Entry to local attractions can be pricey if you pay individually. If youre staying somewhere like Malta theres a lot to see in the way of historic sites, museums and galleries. Check out the range of entry tickets and day passes available for groups before you fly. Youll also find savings on guided tours to nearby islands, historic attractions and boat trips if you book together. You may even be a large enough group to enjoy a private tour - again, advance booking is required.
Affordable activities
If youd like to try out diving, jet-skiing or surfing during your stay, why not plan a group activity? Hiring out equipment on an individual basis isnt cheap, and you will have to share your session with strangers. Inquire about booking an instructor for a private group lesson and youll get their undivided attention, make considerable savings and save the embarrassment of being very bad at it in front of hot strangers.
Cut-price travel
Never, repeat never, just buy solo tickets on public transport. Look out for group tickets and family passes wherever possible. You may only save a couple of euros, but those euros can add up to a pretty spectacular cocktail on your last night.
Drinking and dancing
So youve all got a nightclub in mind that you want to visit. But entry prices can be pretty darn steep. Make sure no-one misses out by searching for group and discounted entry tickets before you head out. Not that good at planning in advance? Try something like the Magalluf Club Pass. This golden ticket provides entry to five night spots for one flat fee, and is a brilliant way to keep track of your spending after youve enjoyed one too many sangrias.
