Get more adventure for your money

With the credit crunch starting to bite, travellers are becoming increasingly anxious to get value for money out of their holidays, and are opting for destinations where their currency will go further. Tucan Travel is always mindful of the effect of exchange rates on our clients and has found a way to help travellers maximise their travel budgets.

The Australian and New Zealand dollars and Euro have strengthened against the US dollar and the British pound over the past 6 months. Because of this trend Tucan Travel has decided to pass the savings we’ve made on to our clients. Travellers booking in AUD, NZD and EUR can benefit from a reduction to the price of anything paid in advance from 01 August 2008 until our new brochure comes into effect on 01 November 2008. (The discount does not apply to anything which must be paid locally).

If booking in AUD - a 10 % discount applies
If booking in NZD - a 7.5 % discount applies
If booking in EUR - a 12.5 % discount applies

With 300+ exciting, escorted group tours to worldwide destinations on offer, plus a range of independent travel packages, what more inspiration do you need to take the adventure of a lifetime?

Top travel money saving tips from Tucan Travel:

1 – Keeping an eye on the fall or rise in exchange rates is always beneficial for those who would like to travel and save money at the same time. Knowing and understanding the nominal exchange value of the currency at your destination is very important. Try to plan your travel at a time when the fluctuation in exchange rates is most likely to help you.

2 – Going to long haul destinations could save you money. Although your flights may be more expensive, according to the UK Post Office destinations like Thailand, South Africa and Egypt are increasingly popular because they can offer great value for money for drinks, meals, shopping and excursions. Tucan Travel offers a variety of tours to these destinations – see tucantravel.com for full details.

3 - When you’re changing money, don’t wait till you get to the airport. It’s usually more expensive at airports than on the high street, even if you’re purchasing from the same bureau. You’re better off ordering your cash online and picking it up at the airport.
