This usually takes a lot of planning and the ideal time to plan your next vacation during the year is the December holiday break.
It can be very rewarding if you plan ahead and tick all the boxes.
The key is to break your holiday down and discuss it with your family. From there, you can also set the date that suits everyone and have options where you want to go for a holiday break.
Five things to consider when you plan your next holiday
• Which family members will be going on vacation?
• Where do you want to go, to the coast or an inland holiday?
• What is your budget for the trip?
• Check on the requirements of the accommodation or flights that you need to book
• The most important on the checklist is to start saving.
