Travel quotation from Zhengzhou to Maldives
Q: How much is the Maldives tour?
Total cost = transportation+accommodation+catering+attractions entertainment.
One: the cost of transportation
How to save money on transportation to Maldives?
China's direct flights to Maldives mainly depart from Chengdu, Beijing, Kunming, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Shanghai.
Airlines include Meijia, Hainan Airlines, Sichuan Airlines, China Southern Airlines and China Eastern Airlines.
The price of air tickets fluctuates greatly with the tourist holidays and off-peak seasons. But some institutions will get special tickets!
The off-season price is generally 4000-6000 yuan/person.
The tourist season price is 6000-7000 yuan/person.
The prices of these air tickets are relatively transparent, the market pricing and price comparison are unified, and the cost is relatively high!
Many tourists have no idea about how much it costs to go to Maldives for the first time, that is, they bought tickets at airlines and booked hotels at high prices when they got there, but they didn't enjoy any discount!
So, is there a big discount for purchasing tickets in institutions?
The preferential margin of institutional charter operators is still relatively large.
These charter operators are generally subordinate to travel agencies. To put it simply, it is a travel agency with relatively strong strength, which has chartered a plane to Maldives all the year round. So the cost is much lower.
Xiaobian has seen many customers who choose to travel, and they all get discount tickets from the island customer service "Susu" one month in advance.
I remember one time, a customer in Zhengzhou bought a direct flight from Kunming to Maldives, with a round trip of 2100 yuan per person, including tax. It also matches the ticket from Zhengzhou to Kunming.
Check the price of this set of tickets online, and it costs 3850 yuan for a round trip. And the price we arranged is 2420 yuan in total. One person saved 1,420 yuan, and the two saved nearly 3,000 yuan. On the return trip, the Zhengzhou customer took the saved 3,000 yuan and bought a watch for her husband to wear.
Look, this is the benchmark of rational consumption! How nice! If you think this is an advertisement, or a reference standard.
But after all, tourists got the tickets at a lower price. Get the benefits, what else is important?
The airlines that the Maldives transits abroad include Singapore Airlines, Qatar Airways, Sri Lanka Airlines and Malaysia Airlines. When transiting through foreign airlines, you need to stay at the transit airport for a period of time, which can save most of the time.
Two: Hotel expenses
How much does it cost to stay in Maldives hotel? Is there a honeymoon service?
Off-season 1000 yuan/person/day
In the peak season (holidays), the price rises more about 2000 yuan/person/day.
Maldives is a "one island, one hotel" with many room types. It can also be booked through the channel price of the travel agency.
Regardless of the level of the hotel, the room type is divided into two categories: beach house and water house. Each category is also divided into ordinary rooms and superior rooms.
Relatively speaking, beach houses are more affordable, while water houses are more expensive. The difference is $100 per night.
Choose one of our tours with a 2-night water house and 2-night sand house of around 1000, all with separate swimming pools. This kind of collocation is the most cost-effective, which can not only experience two different room types, but also save a lot of expenses.
Generally speaking, May to October is the off-season, in which May, June, July and September are the cheapest, November to January is the peak season, and December, January and February are the most expensive periods. The off-season price is 20%~30% lower than the peak price.
Three: the cost of catering in Maldives
Is it expensive to eat in Maldives? How much does a meal cost?
Eating in Maldivian restaurants and participating in various day trips must pay 10% service charge and 8% business tax on the basis of pricing.
For example, if you eat in a restaurant and order a $100 dish on the menu, 10% service charge +12% business tax will be added when you check out, making a total of $122.
And almost every meal is about $100, which is quite a lot.
Therefore, eating in Maldives is quite expensive.
Then we strongly recommend choosing AI (all-inclusive) or FB (full-meal) hotels, which proved to be really cost-saving.
Because I have to go diving every day, I am almost hungry when I come back. I can only eat instant noodles in the hotel without meals.
At this time, if you have a buffet, it is simply too cool. The restaurants are all self-help and free to eat, and drinks are free.
Maldives AI (all inclusive) or FB (full meal) itinerary can be obtained after adding the island customer service Susu. Get contact information here
Are there any other expenses?
Others are some travel equipment that you need to prepare, as well as the cost of calling cards or WiFi rental.
WiFi can be rented directly in advance in "Choose a Travel", which is half cheaper than renting wifi temporarily at the airport, and can be returned at airports all over the country, which is quite convenient!
Of course, tipping is indispensable in Maldives. Every time you enjoy the help and service provided by Xiaohe, you will give an appropriate tip to affirm their service. Just give $1 or $2 each time. For the whole trip to Maldives, you need to prepare a tip of about $50.
Have you made a clear budget after reading the above tips on saving money in Maldives?
I know, in fact, some tourists who don't like to worry will buy routes on the travel platform casually.
But I have to remind you that the platform purchase line is not only expensive, but also the customer service progress can't keep up, and the experience is not very good.
Just remember two things:
The platform is charged a fee. So in terms of price, it will not be very favorable!
It's just a regular travel agency that is stationed in the platform, or the route arranged by the travel agency. There is no difference in essence, and there is an additional middleman!
How to have the most cost-effective honeymoon trip in Maldives?
Choose a trip-Maldives boutique group of 2-8 people
Price concessions for the "Choose One Travel" boutique group: 3500 yuan–7000 yuan! Bimal Daifu's free travel or group tour price is nearly half.
Small group tours in Maldives can book air tickets, hotels and tour guides at discounted prices. This is one of the advantages of choosing a small travel group.
The experience of the "Choose One Travel" group is high: the number of people in the group is controlled at 2-8. You can enjoy private and free space.
The second advantage is that the trip can be stopped as you go, and you can arrange free activities all day in Maldives, with high degree of freedom! !
"Choose one trip" without worry: boutique group tour includes the whole arrangement. Don't worry about air tickets, accommodation, tour guides and Maldives sightseeing projects!
"Choose a trip" will arrange special tour guides and drivers, without having to do their own raiders, and the whole journey will be accompanied by someone. This is advantage three!
Today, tens of thousands of honeymoon tourists have experienced the convenience of boutique groups in "Choose One Travel"!
Maldives Tourism Budget Guide
If you want to plan an unforgettable trip to Maldives, you need to have a clear understanding of the travel expenses first. This article will provide you with a general budget range to help you plan rationally.
Off-season (4 Sing Tao): The honeymoon trip is expected to cost 18-25,000 RMB, 5-star trip costs 25,000-35,000 RMB, and 6-star trip costs more than 40,000 RMB. In normal season and peak season, the corresponding price will be increased, with 4 stars being 25-30 thousand and 28-35 thousand respectively, and 5 stars and 6 stars being 30-45 thousand and 45 thousand respectively.
The budget should include air tickets, hotel accommodation, meals, entertainment and other extra expenses. The price of air tickets is influenced by seasons and airlines. The fare for direct flights to major cities in China, such as Chengdu and Beijing, is about 4,000-6,000 yuan/person in the off-season, and it can reach 6,000-7,000 yuan/person in the peak season, and the transfer fee is 5,000-8,000 yuan/person.
As for hotels, Maldivian hotels are priced according to star rating, ranging from four to six stars. The price difference between off-season and peak season is significant, and all-inclusive islands provide all-inclusive accommodation services. Generally speaking, May-October is the off-season, and the cost is 20-30% lower than that from November to January.
Don't forget to consider the airport transfer, inland plane and speedboat fees, and the possible overnight accommodation in Male. In catering, choosing a one-price all-inclusive island can save catering expenses, but some extra consumption such as drinks and SPA needs to be calculated separately.
Entertainment activities, such as diving and weddings, will also generate expenses, and tips and taxes are also part of the budget. Seasons, tourist seasons, island grades and the influence of European tourists will all affect hotel prices.
Generally speaking, Maldives' tourism budget varies due to many factors. Only by knowing and planning in advance can we ensure that we can enjoy the beautiful scenery without exceeding the budget. I hope you have a wonderful trip!
