Jamaica tops affordability list for Brits by Cheap Flights Booker UK
Jamaica is currently the most affordable international destination for British travellers on a currency basis, according to research.
Basing its findings on recent exchange rate fluctuations, International Currency Exchange (Ice) found that the pound has increased in value by almost 24% against the Jamaican dollar since the start of the year.
Iceland"s krona has lost 23% of its value against sterling, making it the second most affordable destination, with Poland in third following a 19% fall in the zloty.
The Hungarian florint and the Chinese yuan complete the top five of the affordability list for Brits, with the pound gaining 17% and 12.7% respectively against these currencies.
Ice head of marketing Andrew Hamilton said: "Jamaica offers the best of a lot of worlds for holidaymakers - sun, great beaches and fantastic value against the pound.
"But closer to home we"re seeing some real holiday hotspots emerge offering fantastic value for money - notably Croatia, Turkey and Bulgaria."
According to research released by Ice earlier this year, the euro is the most popular currency for British travellers, followed by the US dollar and the Thai baht.
