Do You Want a More Budget-Friendly Vacation? Take Advantage of HARBOLNAS!

Feeling stressed from your busy daily routine? Going on a vacation is a perfect way to unwind. However, many people hesitate due to financial constraints. The good news is that there is an excellent way to enjoy a more affordable holiday—by taking advantage of HARBOLNAS.

HARBOLNAS, or National Online Shopping Day, is celebrated annually on 12 December. True to its name, this special date offers you a variety of attractive deals to encourage online shopping. 

But, it is not just limited to purchasing goods online—you can also use this opportunity for your travel needs. For example, you can book tickets or reserve hotels online on this day to get more affordable prices.

While promotional offers are always available on double-date sales, such as 10 October (10.10) and 11 November (11.11), HARBOLNAS on 12 December features even bigger discounts. Online Travel Agents (OTAs) often provide hefty discounts, sometimes more than 25%. 

Interested in scoring cheap travel deals during HARBOLNAS? Check out these tips!

• Create an Account

First things first, you need to create an account on the OTA app you plan to use. This step is essential to speed up your transaction process later, especially if you want to join in flash sales with limited transaction time.

• Set a Budget

Next, you should set a budget. While HARBOLNAS can make your vacation cheaper, keep in mind that costs vary depending on your destination. So, knowing your budget ahead of time helps streamline your transactions.

• Choose Your Destination

Once you have a budget, it is time to decide where to go—domestic or international destinations? Make sure your chosen location aligns with the budget you have set.

• Payment Methods

Today, there are many payment options, from credit cards and transfers to virtual accounts and QRIS. Different providers or financial institutions support each payment method. Often, during HARBOLNAS, OTAs collaborate with these financial institutions to offer extra benefits when you use their recommended payment methods.

Research which payment system offers the best benefits so you can maximize discounts or other perks available.

• Check OTA Promotions

Besides different deals from different financial institutions, different OTAs also provide different promotional offers. Research before HARBOLNAS begins to identify which OTA offers the best deals, especially for your desired travel destination.

• Understand the Terms and Conditions

This tip is just as important: learn about the terms and conditions applying to each promotional offer. For example, an airline ticket promo might only apply to round-trip packages with specific travel dates. Knowing these details helps you avoid losing your deals due to overlooked terms and conditions.

Are you ready to make the most of HARBOLNAS for a cheaper vacation? Follow the tips above to get the best deals. Additionally, make sure to purchase your Travel Insurance from MSIG Indonesia during HARBOLNAS to grab an even better steal.

Whether you are traveling domestically or internationally, travel insurance is essential to protect your journey because risks can happen anytime and anywhere. So, don’t skip this crucial step!
