Hotels are not so uncommon nowadays, in fact, they have never been. Usually, most people fly or drive and need a hotel from times to times. If the professional activities oblige us to move frequently, hotel expenses might become very important, even crucial to keep a healthy budget.

The chart reveals the relative importance of Hotel Expenses - and in general, all of my travel expenses - compared to my whole budget, in fact, although a small portion of the 7% is dedicated to some small expenses derived from my professional activities. As I don’t mean to publish my current earnings, they have been reduced to a percentile scale.

I can only guess that some of the readers have a similar budget for business travel, and there are even others that do have vacations and expend more than a few dollars in hotels. And Car Rentals. And Flight tickets. And the like.

Would it be worth to save some money off the Hotel&Travel Expenses?

Of course, it’s a rethorical question. In my case, according to the chart, it might represent some general savings a year. Even if the saving is as low as 5%, I can find keep some useful money with me… to be invested on anything else.

What I always try to do is to increase the efficient use of resources, that’s what the last third of the Blog Title states. And, aiming to accomplish that mission, it is compulsory to find a service that reduces the expense of hotel accommodation.
