they beat manchester united three goals to two and they did their part and one but it is us that once again prove the title credentials in this very special season for the gunners, much more in reaction indeed and that's all from sports day coming up on bbc news is the travel show. coming up on this week's show. during the pandemic many of us realised just how intense was our passion for travel. and i am so excited about the opportunities to explore economically and responsibly this year.

hello and welcome to the travel show, coming to you this week from behind—the—scenes at our home here at the bbc in london. it is here where we plan the shows and edit the films from all over the world, finding stories, juggling logistics and, just like everybody else, trying to find the biggest bang for our buck when it comes to travelling abroad. over the past decade here at the travel show hq it has been ourjob to create new content for you every week on a fairly modest budget. so no wonder we picked up a tip or two along the way about how to get the most for our money. we get the best value we can by packing in as much as possible on each trip, travelling light and using our network of local fixers and producers as often as we can to help bring

down travel costs and our carbon footprint. so how can you save money when you travel abroad in 2023? here is our global guru, simon calder, with some ideas. when so many of us are feeling the squeeze financially it is no wonder that some travellers are considering cutting back on adventures. when money is tight, seeing your ideal destination on tv or social media can stir up a load of negative feelings and leave you believing that your dream holiday, isjust that, a dream. in 2022 the travel show team went dune bashing in qatar. attended age—old ceremonies in chile, and saw some amazing creatures that also call this planet home at yellowstone. right over there in

the distance is a grizzly bear. and this is how you can get to some of these destinations. the usa is full of wish list locations, hollywood, miami beach, new york city and natural wonders like yellowstone which lucy and the travel show visited in early 2022, coinciding with its 150th anniversary as a national park. this is old faithful, probably one of the world's most famous geysers. there she goes. people save for years to see amazing places like yellowstone but with the cost of living soaring, are such trips becoming out of reach? as always, if you can travel at times of low demand you will get the best deal. keep costs down by taking cabin baggage only. most transatlantic airlines

now charge extra for anything you want to check into the hold, but at the same time offer generous hand luggage allowances and there is less chance that your valuables will go astray. in april, uk air passenger duty forfligths to north america increases to £87, or in anything other than basic economy, £191. you can avoid the tax by taking a ship to dublin or a train to paris and booking a flight from there. but allow plenty of time to make the connection if you miss the onward flight, you are not getting a refund. the same idea works in the opposite direction. if you are starting in north america and planning to visit a number of european

countries, make britain the first nation you visit, not the last. for all its colour, scenery and wonders, south america appears on the wish lists of surprisingly few travellers. and that may not be about to change. according to a survey by the leading uk travel association, significantly fewer travellers this year are looking to visit a country they have never been to before. with shrinking disposable income, that is understandable. but try and think big. in late march, carmen and the team switched spring for the southern hemisphere autumn in the long, thin and spectacular south american nation of chile and got to part in some amazing experiences. when you think of mummies, you think of the ancient egyptians wrapped in bandages but these guys here, there are masks, sticks where their bones were and what is fascinating is the smaller mummies of children and babies. south america really rewards travellers who can invest time and a trend we have noticed at the travel show supported

by industry data is that the average length of stay is increasing. if you can spend weeks rather than days in a place you will get under the skin of it and have a much more enriching and enlightening experience. even better, stay with a family to understand the culture more deeply and to keep a lid on costs. homestays are easy to find online and typically have a minimum stay of a week or two. last month, the first—ever and sometimes controversial fifa world cup to be held in the middle east came to a thrilling conclusion as argentina lifted the trophy in qatar. every global sporting event creates a kind of travel vacuum after the game is over. but the alluring setting, the culture, the nature, not to mention the sunshine and the beaches remains as rajan discovered

when he visited the gulf state in the buildup to the tournament. so i put my mouth here. yes. and bite, right hand. again, again. if the middle east is on your list of places to go this year, now could be a very good time to be there. since the world cup, qatar has a vast number of hotel rooms to fill and so it has become the region's bargain basement location. in february, a room in a good budget hotel in central doha, five minutes walk from the national museum and ten minutes from the souk is selling at around $60 a night. roughly half of what you would pay for the equivalent property across in dubai. at the travel show it is notjust money we're

looking to save, it is the planet as well. happily, the two often go hand—in—hand. last summer, ade and the team saw the effects of climate change itself. since the fires have hit this whole area it now looks very different. as they visited the greek island of evia to see how it is recovering from devastating forest fires. look at that. just as far as the eye can see, all you are looking at is burnt trees. environmentally, tourism is unquestionably part of the problem. but if greece is on your travel agenda this year, then there are ways of limiting the impact on the planet and your pocket. between the two biggest cities, the capital, athens and thessaloniki in the north it used to be that the only quick way to make the journey was by plane. thankfully there is a new and much more environmentally friendly high—speed railway taking underfour hours

between the two cities. you can save money by being under 2a or over 64 and if you are somewhere in the middle, just sign up for the ht card. it is free and gives you a 15% discount reducing the cost of the cheapest ticket from 9 euros to less than 8. this is the classic africa of storybooks and the location of the great migration. for me, the most remarkable travel show trip of 2022 was the one that ended the year. a 2—parter out in africa how does a blind girl go on safari in which visually impaired social media star lucy edwards joined the team in kenya.

sobs it's ok, it's ok. it's completely fine. honestly, when you call baraka a blessing, he is a blessing. it is a blessing to be blind because it means he is meant to teach people a lesson. he is meant to be here to get people... to understand you should not be poaching these beautiful animals. the film made me think more deeply about africa and in particular the wildlife that coexists, often uneasily, with humanity. i have been lucky enough to go on safari in seven african countries and i found the costs are lowest in uganda and zimbabwe with namibia also offering some good deals. to limit the cost and the environmental impact, consider going on a guided walking safari rather than just hopping into the nearest 4x4.

you might find it a more memorable experience. during the pandemic, many of us realised just how intense was our passion for travel. and i am so excited about the opportunities to explore economically and responsibly this year. i have not regretted a single trip i have ever taken, only those i had to cancel. go out and see the world. i will meet you on the road. hello there. today, temperatures reached ten or 11 degrees in western scotland and here in northern ireland, it was grey and rather damp as well. and you've still got the blanket of clouds he had into the night. furthersouth blanket of clouds he had into the night. further south and east, the cloud to be more tenuous and thinner, the mist and fog that we

have seen news reports of england thickening up and will be dense, it will be freezing and where we break the cloud because parts of the midlands in eastern england, who will still have a frost overnight. four north of wales in the west of england should be frost free and it's going to be a mild night across scotland and northern ireland underneath a blanket of cloud in here, it's going to be cloudy in the cloud may be a bit thinner and a bit drier, we may get some sunshine around the murray firth. he ministered to see some sunshine breaking out england and wales tomorrow. that mist and fog in the morning and slowly lifting and replacement cloud in the afternoon across east anglia and southeast of england. even if you do see some sunshine, temperatures will struggle up sunshine, temperatures will struggle up to three to 5 degrees, double figures again in scotland and northern ireland.

this is bbc news broadcasting to viewers in the uk and around the world. i'm tanya beckett. the headlines: police in los angeles say a suspect, described as an asian male, is on the run following a mass shooting at a lunar new year that has left ten dead and a further ten injured. our very preliminary description, has been described as a male asian and that's from the scene here in monterey park. labour calls for a parliamentary investigation into claims the bbc chairman helped boris johnson secure a financial loan while he was serving as prime minister. senior government ministers defend the bbc chairman's appointment. i know that he's an incredibly accomplished, incredibly successful
