British holidaymakers are spending much more time in carefully planning their holiday destinations to make them as economic as possible, according to newly published figures.
Falls in the value of sterling against other currencies and steep rises in resort prices mean the cost of typical tourist items are higher in four out of five popular resorts and cities compared with a year ago, according to Post Office Travel Money.
The annual Holiday Money Report, which surveyed 40 destinations, found that Brits are paying more for meals, snacks, drinks, sun cream and insect repellent in locations such as the Costa del Sol in Spain; Marmaris, Turkey; Orlando, USA; and Phuket in Thailand.
