If you’re ever wondering which destinations in the world offer the best value, then think no more as The Lonely Planet has recently published a Best Travel 2010 book to capture some of the world’s hottest travel trends, destinations, journeys & experiences.
London managed to achieve 3rd place in this amazing Top 10 being beaten by Thailand (2nd) andIceland (1st). Our capital city has made the list because it has become much more affordable for incoming visitors as well as those who live there. The main reasons are due to the current economic crisis and the fall of sterling against the euro & dollar making it better value for incoming tourists to the UK.
Iceland captured the number one spot in this Top 10 due to the collapse of its currency. Cheap holiday favourites such as Thailand, Mexico & India also made the Top 10 due to them being out of the euro zone allowing holidaymakers to gain much more for their spending money. The full Top 10 Best Value Destinations are:
· Iceland
· Thailand
· London
· South Africa
· Malaysia
· Mexico
· India
· Bulgaria
· Kenya
· Las Vegas
