Further away destinations 'offer a better deal'
Travel insurance customers looking to get more for their money this summer should think about travelling to further away destinations, a hotel company has said.
"Those looking to travel slightly further afield will find their spending money could go even further," said Nigel Pocklington, managing director at Hotels.com.
He added that destinations such as Turkey and Morocco will offer great value for British travellers this year without a long-haul flight.
Mr Pocklington went on to say however, that despite the unfavourable exchange rate of the euro, great value deals could still be found in European cities.
According to the company, hotel prices in Riga had fallen by 11 per cent in 2009 compared to last year and Prague had seen room prices drop by four per cent.
Some 50 per cent of holidaymakers in the UK said they were considering cancelling their travel plans this year because of the credit crunch, reported travelsupermarket.com in April.
Cheap travel insurance from Direct Travel Insurance can cover a trip to Europe or long-haul destinations all for a low price.
