With euro becoming stronger, thousands of Brits are looking out for holiday destinations that offer better value for their pounds. Most interestingly, Turkey has recently emerged as one of the top spots in the list of such destinations. The most attractive feature of turkey combines the alluring seaside experience with reasonable prices over accommodation and dining in addition to an exclusive range of shopping options. A recent report published in M&S Money has ably captured this aspect.
The figures published in the M&S Money reveal that there is a sharp 53 percent increase in sales of Turkish Lira. Most notably, next only to Russians and Germans, the travellers from the UK top the list comprising visitors to this wonderful destination. ABTA notes that last year alone not less than two million UK tourists visited Turkey. Over and above, it has also observed that this number can further go up by not less than 20 percent during this year.
Commenting on the present trend, Fraser Millar, the head of travel services at M&S observed, "The huge increase in sales of Turkish currency is not surprising, with the relative power of the euro against the pound meaning Brits are getting more for their money by opting for destinations like Turkey. This trend is confirmed by the fact that there has also been a large increase in sales of Egyptian currency this year.â
The popular tendency among Brits during these days is to leave out the traditional continental destinations for something more exotic and adventurous, making travel insurance an absolute necessity.
