In the current crisis, traveling abroad is a luxury that many people cannot afford. Prices for a week's stay in most foreign countries reach the annual income of the average person, turning a vacation into a pipe dream. But still there are countries in which the exchange rate plays into the hands of all tourists.

We have compiled a list of 7 countries that are considered the cheapest for tourists.

India

Housing prices per month: $30
Meals per month: $40
Flight: 550-600$

India is considered the cheapest tourist country in the world. It is rich not only with a hot climate and the ocean, but also with a lot of attractions. And all this for only $80 per month.

Due to the convenient exchange rate of the dollar to the rupee, renting a house with all the amenities will cost the tourist only $30 per month. And due to the tropical climate of India, the markets are filled with cheap fruits and vegetables all year round. In addition, you can buy several varieties of rice and other cereals for a couple of dollars. Thus, food will cost the tourist about $ 10 per week.

For vacation it is better to choose small towns. The prices in them are cheaper than in Delhi, the dwellings are more comfortable, the population is smaller, and there are much more sights and national colors. Pocket expenses and excursions will cost the tourist about another $ 40. It is worth noting that the Indians themselves spend much less per month, since their average salary reaches only $50. Despite seemingly such economic decline and poverty, India is a very bright and colorful country. Holidays here involve not only sunny days on the beach, but also a complete immersion in its culture and traditions.

The flight to India is cheap, in comparison even with European countries. Round-trip tickets from any CIS country will cost about $600, and if you book them in advance, you can save an additional hundred dollars.

Indonesia is known to tourists primarily by name. famous beaches Bali, Malukru and Tengah, which amaze the imagination with paradise landscapes, sun and crystal clear water.

Before you go on holiday to Indonesia, you need to plan carefully. Tour operators offer tourists expensive hotel rooms for $20 per night, so this is not an option for the average traveler. Many go here with a tent over their shoulders, as the warm climate completely allows this way of living. Some are looking for comfortable little houses or bungalows on the ocean for $60 a month.

Food in Indonesia, as in India, is an abundance of exotic fruits, berries, vegetables and nuts, as well as various seafood. Thus, a tourist, on average, spends $ 20 on food. If you prefer to visit restaurants from time to time and try national cuisine, then the monthly amount will increase to $40. Together with pocket expenses, the necessary amount for living in Indonesia for one month is $ 160-180.

The main thing to remember is one rule: never buy from local residents souvenirs at the offered prices. One should always bargain, as the real cost of all knick-knacks becomes only a few dollars.

Despite the low prices, flying to Indonesia is not a cheap pleasure. Two-way tickets from all CIS countries cost about $1200 for one person. But you can look for various promotions, discounts or book tickets in advance to save a couple of hundred dollars.

Laos

Housing prices per month: $60-70
Meals per month: $40
Flight: 1000$

Laos is not only a beautiful country with magnificent mountain landscapes, but also a center of spiritual enlightenment. To find themselves and understand the meaning of life, tourists from all over the world go to Laos, where a calm and spiritual atmosphere reigns. Plus, it is also a very cheap country, since there is nowhere to spend money here.

Renting a one-room apartment for a month with all amenities costs only $60-70, depending on the availability of the Internet. The range of products in Laos is not very large, since this industry is underdeveloped in them. Thus, a tourist spends a maximum of $40 per month on the necessary products.

But a two-way flight from any CIS country is about $1,000.

Thailand

Housing prices per month: $200
Meals per month: $100
Flight: $800-1200

Thailand is one of the most exotic countries Asia. It attracts tourists with bright colors, carefree atmosphere, various festivals and show programs, and, of course, unique cuisine.

More and more tourists prefer to plunge into the warm embrace of Thailand in winter time when the already low prices for holidays there are halved. Indeed, this is an inexpensive country for the average traveler. And before you head off to Thailand, you can check out the blogs and sites of seasoned travelers who candidly advise newcomers to places where there is cheap accommodation, inexpensive food, and interesting places to stay.
Fruit, fish, and game are plentiful here for as little as a dollar. Thus, a tourist will spend $ 100 per month on food, if he is not tempted by expensive Thai delicacies and culinary masterpieces.

Whether you're in a big city like Pattaya or a small city like Phuket, Koh Samui, Koh Chang or Koh Phi Phi, you're guaranteed a holiday paradise with golden beaches, sun and exotic food. But the cost of housing differs dramatically. IN big cities for a month a tourist will have to pay $400, but in small resort towns about $200.

Food in Costa Rica is also inexpensive, even if you eat from time to time in restaurants. Due to the abundance of seafood and fruits, dinner at the restaurant costs only $4.

And since the beaches and the ocean are free of charge, a heavenly month of rest is guaranteed to everyone.

Argentina

Housing prices per month: $150
Meals per month: $200

After economic crisis, National currency Argentina has fallen significantly, making the accommodation of tourists in this country quite affordable. But due to the remote location, the flight to this beautiful country is a decent amount.

Hotel accommodation, as in other countries, is of course more expensive than renting private accommodation. But an apartment with all amenities right on the ocean will cost $ 150 per month. Unlike Asian countries food in Argentina is much more expensive.

There are also golf courses and shopping centers and house prices dropped to $150 a month. And if you visit bustling town Damakuete, you can even live there with all the amenities for only $ 40 per month.

Each person, planning his vacation, first of all thinks about the material side of the issue. Most of us want to lie on the beach, see local attractions, and gastronomic interest is a significant factor. You also just need to bring a bunch of souvenirs to friends and family. How to be, so that the costs are minimal, and the impressions are maximum? Colorful signs of travel agencies tell us that Turkey and Egypt are the most budget travel options, but is it really so? Let's try to figure it out...

small and very important advice: to save money, you can plan your trip yourself, bypassing the services of tour operators. That is, to book tickets, think over the route, rent accommodation ...

So, the ranking of countries:

10 Greece

It is best to fly to this country in April or in the second half of September. Prices during this period are somewhat lower, but the quality of rest does not suffer. A double room in a mid-range hotel will cost around 30 euros. Housing costs per week will be about 100-120 euros if you stay in a family pension - this is the most budget option. The flight is about 120 euros. You can try to use a charter flight, but it is risky. Schengen visa, cost 35 euros. If you do not buy food on the beach and next to it, but move 800 meters from the sea, then lunch will cost you about 8 euros per person. In Greece, in addition to a beach holiday, there are a huge number of ancient monuments, historically significant ruins and ancient monasteries. An excellent choice for a family holiday.

9 Argentina

Due to the currency exchange policy and the "black" market, Argentina has become a paradise for travelers, because the dollar in this country is currently valued at 70% above the official rate. Some airlines carry out promotions with enviable regularity, reducing the price of a Moscow-Buenos Aires flight and back to 700-800 dollars. A visa is not required if you intend to stay in the country for no more than 90 days. The cost of housing in a middle-class hotel can be $40-50, on the outskirts $30. Many advise renting accommodation on the outskirts, but long trips to attractions on public transport tire quickly. By the way, public transport in Argentina is subsidized by the state, so fares are cheap. Based on this, taxi prices are also very low, so you can afford to travel this way. In Buenos Aires and its environs there is something to visit: waterfalls, glaciers, parks and flea markets, fairs and street dances. I do not advise you to buy very popular tours, because. prices are set in dollars, but if you do not resort to the services of guides, you can save a lot.

The most convenient and reliable option is hostels and mini-hotels along the coast, costing about $30-40. It is preferable to buy excursions from beach-boys, but for security reasons, you should not give the entire amount at once. Many sights can be explored on your own, after asking all the locals. Food in Sri Lanka is cheap, the average bill in an ordinary cafe is $ 3-4 per person.

Three inexpensive and beautiful countries in Europe

Europe is very heterogeneous in terms of prices within the different countries included in it. For example, in Finland, close to Russia, food prices are much higher than in the distant Netherlands, and therefore it is impossible to calculate the vacation budget by distance.

Top three budget countries Europe includes:

  • Croatia
  • Poland
  • Romania

Croatia

One of the most reasonable countries in terms of prices, which is gaining tourist popularity due to its location on the Adriatic coast and being surrounded by chains of islands, the rest on which is little different from the rest on oceanic atolls: the same bright seascapes, The same white sands, exotic nature. On the beaches of Croatia, yachting is rapidly developing: this is the main entertainment area.

Added to this is a daily varied menu of spicy and spicy sea dishes and local wine, famous for its softness and flavor palette.

It is customary to visit Croatia in the midst of the summer heat, starting in June, and in early autumn, until October. But prices for accommodation, food and entertainment in the next season - October-November - will fall by half. At this time, it is not always possible to swim, but to ride a yacht, spend time in the bosom of exotic nature will turn out quite cheaply.

Poland

This is a country in which the Middle Ages has been preserved intact in many places. When traveling to Poland, get ready for the fact that almost every resort will offer you an overview of a well-preserved knight's castle or the ruins of historically significant fortifications of the 12th-14th centuries.

Most of the resort cities in Poland are ancient cities with atmospheric architecture, beautiful churches, and picturesque landscapes. Lakes, framed by forests and parks, create lyrical pictures that are pleasant for tourists tired of the bustle of megacities. offers cultural and ecological tourism with hospitality and affordable accommodation and meals. The climate of Poland allows you to admire it at any time of the year.

For active tourists there are ski slopes and climbing routes, for lovers of sea recreation - the Black Sea coast.

Romania is a very wooded country, it enchants with its untouchedness, interspersed with modern and very cozy cities.

The climate of Romania is similar to that of Russia, with the difference that in winter it rarely gets colder than fifteen degrees below zero. But the summer here is not very hot: on average, up to twenty-five degrees Celsius.

Asia: exotic affordable

One of the inexpensive Asian destinations is well known - this is Thailand, and relatively recently two more exotic beautiful countries have entered the world of wide tourism: Cambodia and Vietnam.

Countries that are actively developing a tourist destination are always distinguished by inexpensive prices and very attentive service. This is how they earn their reputation.

Thailand

Many tourists fell in love with this extremely friendly inexpensive country. Violet and turquoise lagoons of long beaches, stone stelae, as if thrown from the sky by giants, flowery outfits of local residents - we have seen all this at least once in photographs, and all this is quite accessible to see in reality.

The main shrines of Thailand are the White Temple, as if carved from ivory, and more than thirty thousand Buddhist temples, carved, colored, inlaid.

The islands of Thailand are preserved in the cleanliness and freshness of their original appearance, the underwater world is charming. Local kitchen is divided into two directions: Japanese-Chinese (you will not see such huge rolls anywhere else) and local spicy cuisine sometimes even too exotic.

Visit Thailand from late November to February - this is the tropical season, ideal for a beach holiday, and the hot season following it, from mid-March to May. At this time, the temperature rises significantly, up to 37 degrees. The rainy season (June-October) is interesting in its own way, but there is a risk of spending the entire holiday in a hotel, looking at the rain.

Cambodia

Thailand's little neighbor, Cambodia has finally cracked down on revolutionary upheavals and started to develop as a tourist country.

Vietnam

The popularity of Vietnam is becoming an attraction for those who are willing to splurge on air tickets in order to later establish a financial balance through cheap accommodation and food.

The culture of Vietnam, hidden from the eyes of Europeans for a long time, developed separately and therefore is so attractive to those who are eager to get acquainted with the unknown. Temples of rare beauty, excursions to the habitats of small peoples of Vietnam, walking and bicycle rides over forested mountains: Vietnam invites not a tourist, but a guest.

He generously shares his rich views, gives rest on the beaches with a length of almost three thousand kilometers, willingly introduces exotic and Asian mystery into his mysterious world.

Vietnam also has the cheapest pearls in the world, the most unusual cuisine and very friendly locals.

From December to April, you can change the dankness of the Russian winter for the intoxicatingly warm breeze of the Vietnamese coasts. At this time, prices in the country are slightly higher than in the next season, which lasts from May to October. This is the rainy season, but prices fall so noticeably during it that tourists are little embarrassed by the rains. They buy multi-colored Vietnamese fringed umbrellas and go for impressions!

Russia: such a familiar stranger

Holidays for the most active travelers. Karelia provides many camp sites, and camp sites vying with each other cater to tourists, offering fishing, hunting, kayaking, hiking in the forest and mountains.

The nature of Karelia is poorly described in words: it is not only unique, it does not even have a pale resemblance to itself. Northern coniferous forests imprison stormy mountain rivers in lace frames colorful rocks reflected in the waters of the lakes, sunsets and sunrises color the world in all shades of gold.

A particularly revered place in Karelia is Kizhi Island, quiet and quiet place with surviving wooden buildings and wonderful temples with handmade carvings, one of which carries as many as twenty-two chapters.

The island keeps the memory of original culture Karelian peoples and wood carvers.

Pleasant entertainment on the water is offered: fishing and boating, kite and windsurfing and just outdoor recreation, which is necessary for modern city dwellers.

On Seliger, they often visit the monastery of the Nilova Hermitage. The monastery was founded in the 16th century on the site where the holy hermit Nil, revered in Orthodoxy, reposed.

Who hasn't heard of Lake Titicaca? A funny name for Russian-speaking tourists is the name of the lake, which climbed to a height of more than three thousand meters above sea level. And this is not all the wonders of Bolivia!

Another lake, the dry Uyuni salt lake, leaves the impression of visiting the lake of another planet - the whiteness of salt formations sparkling in the sun creates bizarre patterns and figures of unknown creatures frozen forever.

On the territory of Bolivia, there are traces of an ancient civilization that once rebuilt the stone settlement of Tiwanaku. It is a system of steps, plateaus, peaks and temples, mysterious statues and ruins of palaces. Tiwanaku was built not by people, but by the gods - this is what the locals think.

The Bolivian Death Road, the most dangerous cycling mountain route in the world, will be a challenge for extreme sportsmen.

Apart from ecological tourism it is proposed to spend time in Buenos Aires, a city of exuberant contrasts, where there is a district of artists, La Boca, the colorful splendor of creative architecture, the center cultural life capital Cities.

Africa: Humanity was born here...

And sooner or later he is drawn to return to his roots. Almost everyone dreams of getting into it, so romantic aura is attached to traveling through it. And there are countries in Africa that allow you to fulfill your dream inexpensively. This:

  • Tunisia
  • Burkina Faso

South Africa

The former territories of the English colonists gave the world such famous names as Table Mountain and the Cape of Good Hope. Now Table Mountain has become the center of the national park, and the Cape of Good Hope is part of the museum square with ports and castles.

South Africa is rich in polar types of attractions - these are English-style museums, and the famous Big Hole- a museum-mine, and in contrast - truly African nature reserves lions, giraffes and other wild animals. In South Africa, two civilizations have tightly merged: one industrial, urban, and the second is still wild.

The paradox does not leave South Africa alone: ​​here, in Africa, you will see a diamond museum, an island inhabited by fur seals, a beach where a colony of penguins managed to settle. Amazing country with low prices awaits you from December to February and from July to September.

Flight: from 34,000 rubles.

Accommodation: from 1000 rubles.

Day stay for two: from 2500 rubles.

Tunisia

The favorable location of Tunisia made it an arena for the redistribution of ancient Roman power. From the Romans in this beautiful country many buildings remained, including the Colosseum, not much inferior to what is now on the territory of modern Rome.

From their rivals - the remains of the once richest Carthage. Add here wonderful mosques, Arab fortresses, cathedrals left over from the times of colonization, and feel the heat historical events that took place on this earth.

The center of attraction for tourists here is still the Sahara Desert and Lake Chott el-Nerid. Excursions to the great desert of the world and to a huge lake, like ice, covered with a salt crust - compulsory program for the traveler looking for the wonders of the world. And in Tunisia, you can try fig vodka!

A third of Tunisia is given to the Sahara, and on the other side of the country, the gentle sea washes the cleanest beaches. The visiting season is from June to September. From November to early April, you can also swim, but dust winds often fly in and it rains.

This is a country with a population of more than a thousand tribes with a special culture and way of life. Burkina Faso is a must visit for those looking for the real Africa with ritual magic, wildlife, safaris and predators.

There are national parks here, where Africa lives a full life, not knowing that civilization has long closed around it in a ring. The parks are inhabited by hippos and antelopes, lions and rhinos.

You can see another famous African predator in Kudugu: the sacred Sabu crocodiles live there, quite harmless and friendly with their terrible reputation. You can take pictures with them and they don't mind at all.

An interesting museum-repository, confronting the secrets of African magic, is the Manega Museum, which has collected exhibits-objects of the sacred cults of ancient African tribes. The exhibits are quite gloomy and bewitching. Some are over a thousand years old.

A small Arab state-kingdom, almost completely covered with deserts, but attractive for a beach holiday on the shores of the Gulf of Aqaba, where diving is developed, and beautiful coral reefs are hidden under the water.

The Dead Sea, a source of mineral salts, a medical resort and an amazing creation of the planet, is also located on the territory of Jordan. It is sought after for a cure for many diseases, its mud and salt are used for cosmetic purposes. A visit to the Dead Sea, according to the Jordanians, rejuvenates a person by ten years.

Not so long ago, a city with a history of nine thousand years was included in the list of wonders of the world. This is Petra stone city, once possessing both water and riches obtained from the spice trade.

Petra is completely carved in stone and grandiose in her decline: her beauty is sad and majestic to this day.

Hot tours in the period December-March and hot June-August will be very cheap, because this is a period when sea holidays will not be successful, but these months are great for excursions to the sights of the ancient Arab city. For a sea holiday, choose the winter period: from December to February.

Warm, welcoming and also safe. Turkey has always been inexpensive for tourists with a large selection of places to stay: it provides beaches of two seas, reviews of monuments of Roman and Greek culture and architecture, excursions to cooled volcanoes and cities hidden in caves.

Holidays in Turkey are never the same. Its diversity is limitless for connoisseurs of oriental culture and ancient countries.

From Turkey, you can bring not only impressions, but also inexpensive souvenirs and useful gifts, for example, real Turkish coffee.

The beach holiday season starts in April and ends in October. From November to mid-April, the “off season” lasts, but this is the best time to spend a vacation cheaply and without crowds of tourists in a country with many cultural monuments and attractions.

Prices for food, gifts, souvenirs and decorations fall fabulously at this time: almost 70% of the prices of the beach season.

Flight: from 9,000 rubles. (Istanbul)
