A study conducted by Bounce reveals the secrets of saving up to 85% on hotel accommodations when visiting the world's most famous destinations. Thanks to this data, you will be able to go where you have long dreamed of without spending your entire budget.

This can be done by choosing the right vacation period. Thrillist writes about how to succeed when planning your travel trip.

Bounce's expert team reviewed 60 of the most popular destinations in the world. Based on this data, they determined the average cost of a three-star hotel, taking into account both months of the year and days of the week.

As a result, the price difference in one of the most popular destinations, the Maldives, is 85%. For example, the average cost of a night in a three-star hotel in January is $2,425, and in August it is $364. It should be noted that at this time in the Maldives you can get into the rainy season, but if you are not bothered by this, this season is the most economical for any budget.

The Greek capital of Crete, Heraklion, is in second place in terms of price reduction. If you want to save money, it is better to visit this place in November, when hotel prices are lower by up to 77.5%. Experts compared prices in November and September, which is considered the most popular month in this destination. This difference is explained by the end of the summer season and a decrease in demand for travel at this time of year. Although the temperature may not be as high, November is ideal for exploring historical sites, allowing you to enjoy a pleasant atmosphere without crowds of tourists.

The third place is taken by the capital of Egypt, Cairo, which recorded a 76.7% decrease in prices in February compared to July. It is noted that although the air temperature outside the window will not be too high for a summer vacation, you will be able to comfortably relax and enjoy a trip to the sights of the ancient city.
