Travelling doesn’t have to be expensive

I remember spending one weekend with my friends enjoying the moment with some chitchat, and there emerged an issue on how effectively we could spend our leaves.

Usually, most of the time people get leaves from their workplaces or during the holiday seasons such as Christmas and New Year. The question on how we use such leaves seems to be a minor one but carried some sense and needs deep thoughts to be answered.

The main purpose for taking leaves is for body rejuvenation I can say, that is allowing body and mind to relax and regain its strength to perform and implement daily duties effectively. But the challenge is that many people do not attain the desired goal for taking a leave.

That issue raised a concern as most people believe that by not going to work on leave is enough for body and mind relaxation before getting back to work. We kept on questioning ourselves why we don’t ever set aside some time to spend with families; maybe take a trip to visit some tourist attractions in Tanzania.

Many of us did not agree with that idea due to the belief that travelling and tourism in general is costly. One would need to incur costs for transportation, tourist sites fees and mostly accommodation.

From that comment, does it mean that travelling is as costly as most of us think? 

Due to technological advancement, nowadays there are so many and easy ways to get travel and tourism updates over several places you want to travel to. Online hotel booking websites such as Jumia Travel (travel.jumia.com) is among the solutions to your travelling and booking problems across the country.

You might be wondering how to use that online booking website which is of course very easy. Just log into the website, choose the place that you want to go and then will come a list of all the hotels available around that area with their respective prices. Thereafter, you will choose the hotel or lodge you would like to book, its rank and amenities which are higher considerations to most customers such as restaurant, bar, bank, swimming pool, free Wi-Fi and so forth.

Now it has reached a time when Tanzanians have to embrace new technological advancement as their solution provider in daily life. Such online booking websites came to make sure there is an easy accessibility of accommodation services regardless of the time and distance subjected to somebody. Therefore, this provides a room for a person to choose and decide on what accommodation suits his/her income.
