Bali is the best value destination on Post Office Travel Money - travelbite.co.uk - The Indonesian island has knocked Sri Lanka off the top spot, after a 45 per cent rise in Sri Lankan resort costs led it to losing its best value crown.
2013 prices in Bali fell one per cent to give the Indonesian island a clear lead over South Africa, where a 20 per cent year-on-year rise in the strength of sterling helped the country leap six places up the table of 32 long haul destinations to take runner up spot. At £49.57 prices for UK holidaymakers in Cape Town were 12 per cent lower than 12 months ago.
The popular Indian Ocean destination has now dropped to fifth place in the rankings. The Post Office barometer found that resort prices in Sri Lanka had risen for the second year running.
A total of £54.45 for 10 tourist staples in Colombo, including a three-course evening meal for two with wine, drinks and suncream, was the biggest price rise in any of the destinations surveyed and 24 per cent higher than in Bali (£43.91), the outright winner.
