Budget creators
Budget creators are welcome if they meet the 150k threshold and own a blog or website. Your audience wants real costs, so say plainly what was hosted and what a paying traveller would spend. Thailand and Indonesia are the classic budget destinations; Japan and South Korea reward creators who show how to do them affordably.
How budget travel plays in each destination
- Thailand: street food, local transport and good-value stays.
- Indonesia: affordable Bali away from the busiest areas.
- Japan: convenience-store meals, rail passes and free sights.
- South Korea: markets, public transport and free palace days.
Hosted stays make disclosure especially important for budget audiences. Tell viewers what was provided and give them the real price.
