It's hard to keep track of spending when you're away from home. However, now more than ever, travelers are being conscientious about how they allocate their hard-earned money. One of the ways to help make sure you don't blow the budget is to choose a destination that offers overall good value for what you pay for. In the United Kingdom, the Post Office Travel Money Holiday Spending Report survey has recently been released, providing insight into where holidaymakers feel they get the most bang for their buck while they're away from home. The survey looked at 28 destinations, ranking them in order of best to worst value.
Offering the least value for money was Scandinavia. While there is undoubtedly much beauty to uncover in this region of Europe, the expense involved was off-putting to respondents of this survey.
With one of the highest costs of living in not just Europe but the world, it's unsurprising visitors to Switzerland found the cost-to-value ratio here less inspiring than other destinations.
Accommodation in Dubai is the main expense for travelers, apart from the flight to reach it. While the city offers a safe environment and plenty of attractions to keep busy, it's perceived as giving less value for money than other destinations.
France is a moderately priced European destination, however, with cheaper options in Europe that offer similar advantages to travelers, it's seen as a less value for money option.
Mauritius is beautiful, but for the most part it'll cost you! Careful planning to find the best hotel deals and airfares can help with getting the best value for your Mauritian getaway.
If you dream of doing a game drive in Kenya, it's necessary to plan your activities well in advance: it's one of the less affordable safari options in Africa.
Australia might be laid-back, but it's not the most budget-friendly holiday option. There is a whole continent of varied landscapes to be explored, but make sure to stay realistic about the cost involved.
There are less expensive options than booking an all-inclusive stay at one of the island resorts in the Caribbean. If you're set on a trip here, make sure to plan it well in advance to make it friendlier on your wallet.
New Zealand might be pricey, but those who've visited think it was worth it. There are lots of wonderful free things to enjoy in New Zealand, including visiting beaches, national parks, hiking trails, and hot springs.
Not as cheap as some of the other destinations in Europe, Italy isn't the most expensive either, and at least offers travelers incredible landscapes, rich history, and vibrant culture.
Although it's not the cheapest place to visit, Canada offers value to travelers. The timing of your trip can significantly impact the cost, so factor this in before ruling out/in a holiday here.
Croatia's popularity has soared in recent years, but despite this it still offers good value to travelers. Explore to compare restaurant prices and to uncover the most reasonably-priced options.
Vietnam is one of the best countries for budget-conscious travelers. With affordable homestays, plentiful street food, and transport options like scooters and mopeds, you can explore much of the country without spending a lot.
If you're searching for one of the best value all-inclusive holiday options, look no further than Egypt. Prices in the country are cheap compared to Europe.
South Africa offers affordable luxury to travelers. As well as the stunning landscapes and beautiful beaches in places like Cape Town, there are plenty of street food and local market options for hungry budget travelers.
Cyprus can be as affordable or expensive as you make it; there are options to suit most budgets. Choose self-catering accommodation and eat souvlaki like a local to help keep things within budget.
