- Learn about your travel destination
The most important things to consider before going on vacation are vacation time and budget. Once you pick the time to travel and set your budget, it will be easy for you to decide the main destination, mode of transportation, lodging, meals, and the tourist attractions to visit. If you are interested in traveling abroad, it is recommended that you learn the basics of the local language. You can pick up some common phrases and words such as for asking for directions and greetings. If you don't know the language, you can rely on family, friends, or tour guides to help you communicate with locals. In addition, if you want to travel to domestic or international destinations, you should learn about the local customs and traditions to properly respect local rules and culture and avoid misunderstandings.
- Find discounts!
There are many ways to maximise your budget, including by taking advantage of discounts. You can go to travel fairs that offer attractive travel deals. If you don't have time to go to a travel fair, you can take advantage of the special offers made by various tourism service providers, such as airlines, restaurants, hotels, and credit cards that can reduce your expenses.
One of the special offers you can take advantage of is the 10% discount on Qatar Airways fares using the digibank credit card, valid for business and economy classes.

- Prepare a "special wallet" for your trip
Have you ever found yourself overspending on vacation? If so, it might be time for you to plan your budget. You can set aside extra money for unexpected expenses or refrain from spending money when you have exceeded your budget. These expenses are hard to track if you don’t keep money for daily needs separate from your travel budget.
Nowadays you can allocate your budget more effectively using the Maxi Wallet feature in the digibank by DBS app. The feature enables users to create up to 20 wallets and personalise the names according to their allotments. In addition, you can also earn up to 7%* interest per year, thus allowing your vacation fund to grow faster. *T&Cs Apply1

To capture traveling moments, you can take photos, write a journal, or make a video so that you can look back and remember.
