Those travelling to South Africa for the World Cup should consider booking accommodation at small independent establishments, according to Lonely Planet.
Football fans planning a trip to South Africa for the World Cup should stay at small independent hotels, it has been advised.
Tom Hall, travel editor at Lonely Planet, says that there are many "excellent" hostels, bed and breakfasts and even home stays that have not been officially advertised ahead of the tournament.
Opting for such establishments may mean that holidaymakers can save money in the process, he comments.
"If people look around as we get closer to the tournament, more things may become available and hopefully people can find something that is within their budget," Mr Hall explains.
Cheap
travel insurance could also help to cut costs on a trip to South Africa for the World Cup.
According to a survey by the South African national department of tourism and Grant Thornton, half of accommodation providers will not be charging a premium on rooms booked during the World Cup.
