Ski resorts across Europe offer lower prices to entice UK visitors
Despite foreign exchange rates, European destinations still offer value for travel money on winter sports
London, UK (PRWeb UK/PRWEB ) November 1, 2009 -- Post Office Travel Service's annual Ski Resort Report has revealed that several popular ski destinations across Europe and the US have lowered their prices in line with the recession and foreign exchange rates, giving UK holidaymakers more value for their travel money.
Popular destinations lowering costs in line with current foreign exchange rates include Italy, which came in at a total of £290.14 for staples including equipment hire, lift passes, meals and drinks. France also rates highly for value according to the Post Office report, despite the high euro foreign exchange rate, with Courchevel resort cutting prices by up to 24 per cent since last year's report.
The Post Office recommends comparing the price of ski equipment at different resorts, as this can have a huge effect on the overall cost of the trip. It is also important to consider the foreign exchange rate in the broader sense, as UK holidaymakers will be able to get more foreign currency to the pound in some destinations compared to others.
While the foreign exchange rate means that many eurozone destinations may have a higher cost of living than Eastern European destinations, price discounts and other special offers may mean that Europe still offers UK holidaymakers value for their travel money. The Post Office advises consumers to shop around for their foreign currency prior to setting off on holiday, to ensure they are getting the best deals.
