Strong euro diverts tourists to Turkey

Strong euro diverts tourists to Turkey

Holidaymakers are apparently turning their backs on western Europe this summer and heading for the likes of Turkey and Egypt.

This trend has been attributed to the strength of the euro against the pound. At present, the euro is trading at about 80 pence.

Prices in the eurozone have risen by a quarter when compared with the situation two years ago, reports the Daily Mail.

According to Lastminute.com, this has led to Turkey becoming this summer's main holiday hotspot.

John Bevan, managing director of the travel website, told the newspaper: "If you look at bookings and searches, Turkey is our number one destination.

"Normally it would be number four or five, behind places like Spain. Amazingly, France has been pushed out of our top 10."

According to Post Office head of travel Helen Warburton, prices vary "quite significantly" within Europe so people will be looking to visit countries where their money goes further, such as Turkey.
