Therese Sta. MariaBefore you buy that boarding pass for your long-awaited overseas trip, ask yourself: Have I done my research? Will I get the bang for my buck once I arrive at the popular tourist attractions on my bucket list?
Lucky for you, an airport parking firm called ParkSleepFly conducted a research of their own revealing which tourist attractions around the world have the best value for money and which ones don’t. The research took two main factors into consideration: ticket price and reviews. The more affordable the attraction’s entrance fee was and if it had little to no bad reviews, the higher the tourist spot’s value score. Do you have an idea which popular tourist attractions these are? Check out the best-value attractions in the world below.
But before we do, one sure-fire way to get more value from your trip is to get yourself a credit card that rewards travel spending. Take, for example, the DBS Altitude Card, voted the Best Travel Credit Card at the 2022 TripZilla Excellence Awards. Not only do you earn miles points everytime you spend with the card, but you’ll have access to exclusive deals and perks too!
And with that, here are the best-value attractions in the world today!
