The summer is fast approaching and it’s almost time to think about holiday destinations for 2015.

Here are ten amazing holiday destinations for 2015 that won’t break the bank:
1. Shanghai
These days, a budget holiday doesn’t have to mean that you can’t travel to far-flung places and Shanghai in China is a perfect example of that. The famous Chinese coastal city does have its fair share of five star hotels but it also has accommodation that will suit the more budget conscious too. Shanghai is an incredible place to visit and the food is incredible, and cheap, too.
2. Portugal
For a fun packed European family holiday destination, Portugal comes up trumps every time. The Algarve region of Portugal is a great seaside, budget friendly resort, or head further inland for even better deals. Lisbon too, is a great for a city getaway and, it’s far less crowded than many other European city destinations.
3. Orlando, Florida
If you have a family, then you can’t go far wrong with a holiday in Orlando, Florida. There are plenty of great bargain packages on offer for 2015 and with Disney World, Cape Canaveral and Universal Studios, all nearby, you will never run out of things to do.
