05 October 2006 Bank lists 'cash in' destinations
Britons spending money on flights, accommodation and other holiday expenses are being advised on savings they can make by choosing their destination based on the strength of the pound.
Travellers heading to South Africa, Iceland, Mauritius, Hungary and New Zealand can take advantage of an increase of up to 22 per cent in the value of their money compared to last year, the Royal Bank of Scotland reports.
Holidaymakers are being offered new methods of pre-ordering their travel money before they go abroad.
Doug Gowan, head of global travel money services for the bank, said: "The Royal Bank of Scotland offers 73 different currencies and nine types of travellers' cheques - one of the widest selections available in the UK.
"With our new online and telephone ordering channels, planning your holiday is that much easier."
Last year, American Express claimed that holidaymakers were as likely to head to New York as Dublin due to the strength of the pound.
