Budgeting as a touring escort can be rather tricky at the best of times. I think the idea of living within your means, greatly results in a healthy wallet in the long run. I always try to plan my movements up to three months ahead. Getting your advertising online on soon as possible is key to a fully booked tour. I highly recommend setting your business up to secure bookings by deposit to alleviate touring stress. Remember to factor into your budget your ongoing expenses back home, failure to do so can lead to disappointment and less profit on your return. If the tour is not worth the cost, plan ahead to do something or go somewhere else.

 

Take advantage of frequent flyer programs. This will save you time and money when it is most needed. Calling hotels directly for reservations can also reduce your costs during your stay, many hotels have cheaper rates than those advertised on booking websites. Another money saving idea is to select accommodation where you can prepare your own meals. You need to eat whilst on tour, why waste a tonne of dollars on unhealthy and fast food options. 

 

Ask your clients in each city or country where they saw your advert and where they usually look for services. This can help you direct your advertising and marketing accordingly to maximise your profits for each destination.
