8 ways to travel every year

Looking for ways to make it easier to travel every year? With these eight tips, you can save big and travel more often with Go Ahead Tours!

Do you dream of how to travel the world? New discoveries, interesting people, and unique experiences are just a few reasons to travel every year—and with these eight tips, you’ll find out how to save more so you can travel more often!


1. Travel every year with AutoPay

Is how to afford travel more often top of mind? With AutoPay, you can say “yes” to travel today and pay for your tour over time! Simply enroll in AutoPay, link your debit card or checking account and bank routing number, and secure your spot on tour with just $99 down. Your automatic monthly payments won’t kick in for another 60 days, and when they do, you’ll have no fees or interest. In addition to lower, hassle-free payments, AutoPay locks in your rate and allows you to roll in airfare, travel coverage, and excursions into your monthly payment.

2. Go in the off-season

Beat the crowds, the heat, the wait, and the lines. The benefits of traveling in the off-season are two-fold. First, off-season travel offers a glimpse into what daily life is really like in a new place. Second, it’s one of the best ways to travel the world and save money doing it.

Many destinations host their local festivals once the summer visitors return home, allowing off-season travelers to truly immerse themselves in local culture. However, the biggest reason why you should travel more often in the off-season is the price cut. If you’re searching for affordable ways to travel the world, off-season travel is a surefire way to do it. You’ll see the same sights, stay in the same hotels, and sample the same food (and even enjoy special seasonal treats!), but all for less than what you’d pay in the high season.

3. Refer a friend, travel more

We love to travel just as much as you do, and want to give you more reasons to travel every year. Taking advantage of our referral program is just one more way to save big and travel the world. You earn redeemable perks for on-tour excursions or future trips when your friends start traveling with us, and they’ll receive $100 on their tour, too. That’s not all—when eight friends book a tour within two years, you’ll earn a free tour and $1,500 in redeemable travel credits.

4. Travel more = save more = travel more

Wondering how to travel more often? Book more tours! It’s a simple strategy, but it pays off in the long run. With our Multi-Tour Discount, you’ll save $100 per person when you’re booked on a future tour and decide to book another trip. The more you travel, the more Club Go loyalty rewards you earn.

5. Set up a travel fund

Learn how to travel every year by creating a bank account for the sole purpose of stashing away cash for your next trip! Trust us: Setting aside a small amount every week adds up quickly. Keep this account isolated and resist linking it to credit cards or monthly bill payments, which will help deter you from dipping into the funds for anything non-travel related.

6. Seek out travel deals

Seeking out affordable deals doesn’t mean settling for something you don’t really want. Check out our monthly travel deals to see which trips are on sale. Taking advantage of these great deals is one of the many ways to travel the world. With our specials and year-round discounts, you’ll be jet-setting at least once a year.

7. Make a budget

It’s easy to go all out on a trip, but holiday overspending isn’t helpful when it comes to how to travel more often. You can still enjoy yourself and your hard-earned vacation while keeping your spending within reason. Prior to your departure, do some research on in-country costs. Then, set a daily budget for yourself when it comes to things like food, drinks, and free-time activities. If you cut corners in some areas, you’ll be able to splurge on things that make your trip even more memorable, like an added on-tour excursion with a local guide or unique market souvenirs!
