To help these savvy travellers save big on their summer trips, Skyscanner has introduced the ‘Loud Budgeting Guide’ for accommodation.

This wanderlust opens the doors for additional trips, with 75% of these travellers indicating they would be tempted to book another getaway if they found an irresistible deal. With travel budgets a key consideration, finding the perfect deal is crucial. Skyscanner, with over three million hotels, apartments, self-catering options (bed and breakfast), and hostels to compare, allows travellers to see all their travel options no matter the budget. *

Mohit Joshi, Travel and Destination Expert at Skyscanner said, “We all know the thrill of finding a fantastic flight deal, but hotels can be a treasure trove of hidden savings too. Instead of just looking for the cheapest option, consider exploring different types of accommodation like apartments or self-catering stays. You might discover a more comfortable or budget-friendly place that perfectly suits your trip. At Skyscanner, our mission is to empower every traveller to find the ideal hotel for their needs, all while keeping in mind the budget so that they can get the most out of every adventure. Skyscanner’s filters make it super easy to find exactly what you are looking for, whether you crave a hotel with all its amenities or a place with a kitchen to save on meals. Our budget-friendly hotel deals page can help you turn your dream summer holiday into a budget-conscious reality, with destinations like Denpasar starting at just ₹900 per night and Dubai at ₹2,049 per night in August. “
