Thomas Cook has revealed that India is the destination where British travellers will get most value for their pounds. Thomas Cook’s Cost of Living survey 2010 found India remains the cheapest destination overall (short, medium and long haul), with a beer costing just 68 pence. Malaysia was third cheapest destination long haul. Top Seven Long Haul Destinations Destination Three Course Meal Beer Total Daily Expenses 1. India £5.48 £0.68 £17.10 2. Cuba £10.00 £1.07 £24.23 3. Malaysia £14.00 £2.24 £31.33 4. Mexico £25.00 £1.80 £39.80 5. South Africa £17.00 £1.16 £40.34 6. Canada £19.50 £2.40 £45.60 7. USA £15.90 £2.55 £46.95 Thomas Cook UK & Ireland chief executive Ian Derbyshire said: “The fantastic news for travellers this year is that the cost of everyday essentials has gone down in many resorts so those looking to enjoy themselves on excursions and evening entertainment will be able to do exactly that. “Medium haul destinations like Turkey and Egypt are still extremely good value compared to the UK, and with holidaymakers having the option of all-inclusive packages, daily expenses are being cut down even further.” By Bev Fearis |
