- If you are taking a trip with your friends or family, ensure to inquire about group rates or family rates because some hotels offer discounts for such groups.
- Often you can save money by presenting the card which is similar to a credit card format, attached to the front cover of the Entertainment Book to hotels even if you do not own it.
- Also it is better to book hotels as a package along with the flight tickets, with this you can save a substantial amount of money at many hotels.
