Spanish holidays provide best value for Britons

The UK Post Office’s annual Holiday Money Report, which compares the cost of eight essential purchases, including a restaurant meal, toiletries and drinks, in 40 different destinations, highlights Spain as the most cost-effective short-haul option for Britons.

The average total cost of the eight items was less than £38 in Spain, compared with more than £60 in Turkey, nearly £70 in Egypt, and more than £110 in Barbados.

Of the 40 destinations to feature in the survey, only Sri Lanka – where the eight items cost around £28 on average – provides better value for British travellers.
