Vietnam

2/21
Eco-tourists, history buffs and others are sure to be captivated by Vietnam, which is one of Asia's most affordable destinations for Americans. According to Budget Your Trip, the average daily cost of traveling in Vietnam is just $42. Now that's budget-friendly.

Bali

3/21
Elsewhere in Asia, Bali is a buzzing destination but one that still remains an enticing bargain for American travelers. Budget Your Trip pegs the average daily cost of visiting at just $62.

Mexico

4/21
Americans looking for an incredible bargain need not look further than their neighbor to the south. From Cancun to Los Cabos, Mexico boasts not only some of the world's most inviting locales but award-winning all-inclusive resorts that stretch your dollar while still making you feel like a VIP.

Canada

5/21
Similar to Mexico, Americans don't have to go far beyond the U.S. border to find excellent value internationally. Canada has a ton to offer, including world-class ski resorts, burgeoning foodie destinations and architecture you won't find anywhere else outside of Europe.

Brazil

6/21
Visiting Brazil is not only affordable but easier than ever for Americans as the country has moved to eliminate visa requirements for U.S. travelers in an effort to boost tourism to the South American hotspot.

Denmark

7/21
Copenhagen is a sensational holiday season destination but it's also among the most budget-friendly year-round. Consider a shoulder season visit after the kids have gone back to school in September to capitalize on some of the lowest airfares and room rates available.

United Kingdom

8/21
The U.K. isn't the spectacular sale it was in the early days of Brexit but it certainly hasn't lost any of its luster with American travelers, who can still hop the pond and dive into rich history and culture without mortgaging their future.

Costa Rica

9/21
Costa Rica is as diverse as countries come and Americans don't have to travel very far to get there. Whether your idea of an international getaway is relaxing in a natural hot spring, ziplining through a lush rainforest or immersing yourself in Tico culture, your traveling companions and wallet will thank you for visiting this Central American paradise.

South Africa

10/21
While touring Cape Town is just a little bit more expensive than exploring South Africa as a whole, according to Budget Your Trip, travelers won't have to worry about finances when planning for and visiting this highly touted African nation. It's a versatile destination, one where you can watch whales in the wild and experience a once-in-a-lifetime hike.

New Zealand

11/21
New Zealand's distance from the U.S. can oftentimes be the most intimidating aspect of planning travel to the island country in the South Pacific. Nonetheless, it offers Americans exceptional value, especially those visiting Queenstown, which is often referred to as the Adventure Capital of the World.

Argentina

12/21
Wallet-conscious travelers interested in South America aren't limited to Brazil. Argentina and its diverse capital city of Buenos Aires is a bargain right now. Currency Exchange International recommends you fly there in November to take advantage of the lowest average international economy airfare.

Morocco

13/21
American's shouldn't be so quick to dismiss Africa when brainstorming their next trip. After all, Egypt is booming and Morocco isn't far behind in terms of cultural significance. The result is visitors will see and learn more than they ever expected for less. According to Budget Your Trip, the average daily price for traveling in Morocco is just $41.

Cambodia

14/21
Similar to Vietnam, Cambodia is a destination that demands and rewards discovery. It's also among the most affordable for American travelers, with the average daily price for traveling coming in at just $34, according to data from Budget Your Trip.

Colombia

15/21
Don't let reputation fool you. Colombia is a safe destination for American travelers, earning a level 2 advisory (exercise increased caution) from the U.S. State Department. Visitors won't want to miss Medellin, a booming destination that's performed a complete 180 since Pablo Escobar's death more than two decades ago.

Czech Republic

16/21
Don't overlook the Czech Republic when planning an overseas vacation. Prague is much more affordable than beloved tourist hotspots such as Amsterdam, Barcelona and Rome. According to Budget Your Trip, the capital city of Prague is even half the cost of Paris, with the average traveler spending just $90 a day to travel the "City of a Hundred Spires."

Thailand

17/21
One of the world's most romantic destinations, visitors to Thailand will uncover beautiful hotels, amazing monuments, one-of-a-kind street life, outstanding cuisine and remarkable beaches. It might not be quite the bargain it once was but it's certainly still appealing to travelers of all income levels.

Austria

18/21
France, Germany, Italy and Spain might be high on your bucket list but that shouldn't deter you from adding Austria to your European vacation. According to Budget Your Trip, the average daily price of traveling Austria is just $119, with the average price of a hotel for a couple coming out to a reasonable $128.

Croatia

19/21
Croatia is one of the hottest destinations among today's luxury travelers but there's still time for budget-conscious travelers to experience this European gem before increased demand drives the cost up.

Japan

20/21
Japan is one of the safest places you can travel in 2019 and it's also an affordable destination for most travelers, especially those who take advantage of public transit and the plethora of free or reasonably priced attractions. What's more, the locals here are among the friendliest you're likely to encounter.

Australia

21/21
There's never been a better time to head Down Under as the average daily price for traveling in Australia is just $134, according to Budget Your Trip. If you're not sure where to start, ask your travel agent about Down Under Answers. The tour operator has extensive experience planning a variety of vacations ranging from traditional itineraries to action-packed adventures.
