Hong Kong Travel
Hong Kong is usually the first family vacation destination most Filipinos go to because of its proximity and kid-friendly attractions. Disneyland is suddenly only 2 hours away and you don’t need a visa. But it can be expensive, especially if you’re going as a family.
Do you find yourself just choosing 1 major attraction and skipping the others because you can’t afford tickets?
How do you tell your kids that you can’t go to Disneyland?
Do you end up promising to go next time?
Add to the sight seeing is the expense for airfare, hotel, transportation, food and shopping. It’s 3 or 4 times more expensive because you have kids to bring with you.
Your family vacation will blow your budget out of the water!
