Eastern Europe 'rising in popularity'

Eastern Europe is becoming a more popular place to go on holiday, it has been stated.

Francesca Ecsery, the global sales director at cheapflights.co.uk, said the region is increasingly favoured partly because most of its member states lie outside the eurozone and are therefore cheaper for Britons than many traditional places to take a break.

The Baltic states are among these new localities she noted, remarking: "Culture-rich Latvia and Estonia offer an abundance of striking, centuries-old architecture and picturesque coastlines."

She also mentioned that the latter has many medieval castles.

Those keen on investing in tourist rental property may wish to consider buying in Estonia because of such attractions, as the discovery of them by British tourists could help popularise the country as an overseas holiday hotspot.

Estonia may also be boosted by eurozone membership soon, with Reuters columnist Paul Taylor recently predicting in an article for the New York Times that it will be the first Baltic country to join the eurozone.
