British tourists leave eurozone behind
Countries outside of the eurozone are becoming very popular with British leisure travellers this year, it has been revealed.
According to Holidays-Direct, tourists from the UK are finding that their money can go further in destinations which do not use the euro.
This is because the currency is now at a record high against the British pound, a development which has hiked up the cost of taking a break in places such as Spain and Italy.
As a result, rival Mediterranean markets including Turkey have been boosted by a surge in demand among British consumers.
Jon Pearce, spokesperson for Holidays-Direct, commented: "Holidaymakers worry that using the euro on holiday is going to cost more."
This comes after the Association of British Travel Agents revealed that the number of summer bookings for trips to Turkey has gone up by 20% this year.
