Hotel Promotions and Loyalty Programs:
Look for special sales, especially in the off-season or festive campaigns on hotel websites or third-party booking portals.

Contests and Giveaways:
As contests and giveaways are regularly run on the social media accounts of hotels and travel platforms, follow them.

Engage in travel bloggers, companies’ or tourism boards run online contests that may offer free stays as prizes.

Travel Rewards Credit Cards:
The travel rewards or hotel points in some credit cards can be used to earn free stays. Is your credit card offered such benefits? If yes you have accumulated points, use them wisely.

Seasonal Discounts:
Utilise discounts and late reservations that hotels could grant during the off-season to fill empty rooms.
