Ed Fleming, Managing Director at Savoo comments: “With many individuals looking to go abroad this summer without breaking the bank, seeking the best deal is crucial to reducing any financial stress and making a well-worth trip.

“When saving for a holiday it’s important to identify the most important features you want to be included in your holiday. Proximity to a beach, activities to do within walking distance of your hotel, as well as checking reviews and carefully looking at what is included in your package are just some ways to help you make the right choice and save money along the way.

“There is still time to save for the summer months too. Exploring money-saving techniques will help prepare you for your trip, from reviewing any monthly outgoings that can be cancelled to utilising voucher deals.”
