Turkey recommended to financially-stretched Britons

Article Date : Thursday, May 08, 2008

British consumers who are feeling the pinch from the ongoing credit crisis have been advised to consider visiting Turkey.

According to the Guardian, many are being forced to make cutbacks as a result of the continuing economic pressures, with some even giving up their holidays.

However, the newspaper said that such a drastic course of action may not be necessary as some parts of the world still offer affordable prices.

Turkey was highlighted as one such destination, as it currently offers favourable exchange rates with the UK.

This, it said, could be appealing to those who have been put off places such as Spain and France by the strong euro.

Commenting on the country, the Guardian remarked: "Large stretches of the south coast are a bargain bagger's bliss, offering the obscenely blue waters and startling scenery for a much lower premium."

This comes after John Bevan, managing director of Lastminute.com, told the Daily Mail that Turkey has displaced places such as Spain and France in terms of the number of online searches and bookings it has received.
