Long-haul airline costs are anticipated to remain high in 2024, and some currency exchange rates have become less favorable, but many places still offer fantastic travel deals.

Realizing how far your dollars, euros, or pounds may travel in less expensive nations can be eye-opening. Many countries allow you to spend between $35 and $50 per person per day on travel expenses.

Here is the list:

1. Vietnam: Despite its significant economic growth, Vietnam remains one of Asia's cheapest countries. While it does not have postcard-perfect beaches (try the Philippines or Indonesia instead), it is fantastic for its food, wildlife, and cultural attractions.

2. Albania: Albania may be the cheapest destination in Europe. It's still early days for tourism in this Balkan country, but some are already calling it "the next Croatia.".

3. Thailand: Thailand is most renowned for its islands and beaches, which may be reasonably priced if you know where to look. But for the best deals, head to the northern Chiang Mai region, and you'll be in budget vacation heaven.

4. Nicaragua: Consider Nicaragua to be Costa Rica's less expensive counterpart. While the neighboring country's tourism economy is less developed, you may enjoy many of the same activities as Costa Rica for a third or less of the price.

5. Indonesia: While Indonesia has always been a favorite among budget travelers, an advantageous exchange rate with Western currencies makes it an especially smart choice right now. The northern Chiang Mai region is a budget traveler's dream.

6. Turkey: Turkey is an ideal sun, sea, and sand resort near Europe. While the Turquoise Coast provides affordable beach vacations, culture-lovers will adore Turkey for its wonderful city of Istanbul and the ancient rock formations of Cappadocia.

7. Colombia: Colombia has a bit of everything, including a Pacific and Atlantic coast, the Amazon jungle, and the beginning of the Andes mountain range. Colombia is one of the most budget-friendly vacation destinations in the Americas, with lively cities like Medellín and Bogota, as well as a vivid culture and welcoming locals.
