Budget travel in the continent is available, according to a Lonely Planet spokesman.
Travelling to a far-flung destination such as south-east Asia does not have to cost the earth, according to one expert.
Tom Hall, travel editor at Lonely Planet, explained how individuals can still explore the continent without spending a great deal of cash.
"People want to travel on a budget, they will find those places very happy hunting grounds," he explained.
Malaysia and Thailand may be slightly more expensive than in previous years, Mr Hall pointed out, but they should both still provide plenty of options for affordable accommodation, food and travel.
China and India might prove more fruitful for single trip insurance policyholders hoping for a bargain and even poor currency exchange rates will not dampen the spirit of those arriving in Asia, while they are still likely to find good value, as well as "a warm friendly welcome and ... pretty safe places to go".
What's more, holidaymakers with just a week or so to spare do not need to discount the possibility that a long-haul destination is right for them. Bali and other areas in Indonesia could prove "interesting" during 2011, while visitors might also enjoy Cambodia and Vietnam, Mr Hall continued.
His comments came after the Holiday Money Report was published by the Post Office. It revealed the Thai baht has strengthened in recent times by 11.4 per cent, while Sri Lanka has been named as the cheapest long-haul destination with regards to its fiscal performance.
More individuals hoping to spend less on their next holiday might find distant countries may not be out of their reach, particularly as travelsupermarket.com has revealed UK consumers are hoping to spend an average of £829 on their next trip.
