According to this BBC report Britons are seriously reconsidering holidaying in the Eurozone due to poor exchange rates. It has always been the case that holidays to Europe have been cheap largely because of the strength of the British pound. Now that the British pound has fallen in value the usual European holiday hotspots are feeling the pinch.
Its another sad side effect of the current economic situation, and as the report states last minute holidays may not hold the bargain that they once did. Booking early is more likely to get the bargain people are looking for.
What are the options. Well, there are still holiday hotspots within easy reach of Europe that offer better value for money. Croatia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Tunisia and Cape Verde still offer deals because they are not as affected by the fall in the strength of the British pound.
For those who are really feeling the pinch there really is nothing more to offer than the hope of a better summer than the last two. The economic slump will not last forever, better days are coming!
