Expenditure on European holidays still affordable - reports
Despite the preconceived notion that spending a holiday in Europe is expensive, a latest survey revealed that there are several countries in the region that are still affordable. According to the holiday costs survey, conducted annually by Post Office Travel Services, Bulgaria topped the list of cheapest costs for a holiday extravaganza. The European country beat last year’s topnotcher Thailand.
Countries in Europe that made the cut are Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece and Croatia. Travel Services Head Sarah Munro said that the survey only disproves notions that spending your holiday in Europe can be very expensive. In fact, the decline on the British pound helped lessen the prices of goods in the region.
Munro clarified that there are other European destinations where travelers could shell out more money, such as France which topped the most expensive list. Here’s the list provided by Post Office Travel Services revealing the price of basket of goods composed of drinks, dinner for two and other holiday items. This will give travelers an idea how much they would spend on basic travel goods in a particular country.
