However, there are a few countries that have tighter regulations on the process of acquiring a travel visa. It is, therefore, advisable to carefully look at the restrictions on acquiring a visa to the travel destination of your choice before you set your mind on the destination to avoid any inconveniences.
Budget
Choosing where you want to go for your vacation, will pretty much be influenced by how much you want to spend. There are different vacation destinations all with different price ranges. Your choice of destination will be limited to your budget. If you plan on going outside your country, you should weigh the strength of your currency against the country you are visiting. If the currency of the country you are visiting is more than yours, you should consider changing your destination or cut a few days of your vacation so as not to over stretch your pocket.
Duration
If you have a flexible schedule you can spend time has much as you want on your vacation. But if you have limited time on you probably 1-2 weeks per year, then that is such a small time frame you should minimize traveling. Travelling will consume too much of your time that you would otherwise use on your vacation. If you have more than four weeks, then you can travel as much as you want because you will have enough time to yourself to do whatever you want.
