The right times to travel to expensive destinations

TripAdvisor Vacation Rentals has revealed the most affordable times of year to stay in some of the world's most expensive destinations

And it turns out that shifting when you go abroad could save you up to £4,000, or 86 per cent of the total cost.

Boasting more than 740,000 properties worldwide, the booking website has looked at the average weekly rate of a two-bedroom property and uncovered the best months to save on trips to top destinations like Dubai and Miami.

Holidaymakers can visit the sun-kissed shores of Kapolei in Hawaii and save over £1,410 simply by travelling in November. Likewise, stylish city breaks in London see average savings of 27 per cent in early July, the perfect time to see the city in the sunshine.
And going to Cannes in late March instead of early March could save you £3,970.

Saskia Welman of TripAdvisor Vacation Rentals said that knowing the right time to visit particular destinations is key to saving on your holidays in 2016. She said:

"Holidaymakers keen to explore the world's most amazing hotspots, but without the hefty price tag, should try to be flexible on their dates. Travelling even just a week or two earlier or later than planned can make a massive difference to the cost.

“For example, the paradise beaches of Barbados can be experienced for almost 40 per cent less by visiting in early December.

“The world's most stunning locations are accessible on all budgets if you strategically plan to travel at the cheapest times of the year – you'll be amazed at what you can afford.”
