2017-02-23 | http://www.themovechannel.com
Bulgaria’s Sunny Beach remains the most affordable holiday destination in the world, according to new research.
The annual index from travel website Hoppa compares popular cities around the world in terms of typical vacation costs, from accommodation prices and alcohol costs to the value of a cup of coffee and more. Last year, Sunny Beach in Bulgaria was ranked the friendliest for your wallet out of 46 destinations. This year, Hoppa has extended its research to analyses 84 places around the globe – and Sunny Beach remains the best bet for bargain holiday hunters.
All costs in Bulgaria measured by the index total a mere £38.21 per person for one night’s stay – far below the most expensive destination in the Zurich, which costs £170.43 per person for one night’s stay (including meals, drink and entertainment).
The destination with the most expensive accommodation is New York, with an average cost of £183.73 for one night’s stay. Sunny Beach, on the other hand, will only set you back £37.36.
The cheapest place to go for a three-course meal for two at a mid-range restaurant is Antalya in Turkey. On the other hand, if you’re visiting Dubai you could be in for a shock with the average price of a bottle of wine coming in at £30.64. In Bahrain, cocktails can cost up to £18.06 – while in Manila in the Philippines, a pint of beer costs a minute 38 pence.
New for 2017 is the price of a sightseeing bus tour, which costs as much as £54.50 in Dubai and as little as £7.50 in Kiev. Tourist attractions vary by an equally wide margin, with Florida’s Universal Studios costing an average of £127 per person, compared to Bangkok’s Grand Palace, which costs £11.38.
