Strength of pound could see caravanners head abroad

Strengthening pound could see caravanners heading to eurozone destinations

Caravan enthusiasts may be tempted to head to France, The Netherlands or some other eurozone destination this summer.

According to thetravelmagazine.net, the strength of the pound is making a trip abroad an increasingly attractive proposition.

Brits are traditionally keen to get value for money on their breaks and heading to the eurozone while the pound is strong could be a great way of getting a budget holiday.

Editor Sharron Livingston explained that the UK population have always been keen to explore new countries and suggested that this summer could hold great opportunities.

“Ferry travel and cruises have seen an upturn and amazingly, British travellers do not get put off long-term with the adverse conditions recently encountered in the aviation industry,” she said.

As well as the eurozone favourites, Ms Livingston believes that Turkey and Egypt will be popular during 2010.

Meanwhile, research from the Clydesdale Bank and Yorkshire Bank showed that many Brits are cutting back on their day-to-day spending to help save for their holidays.
