Brits flocking to two holiday hotspots are taking advantage as travel firms report surge in bookings
Holidaymakers from the UK are flocking to Turkey and Egypt to take advantage of favourable currency exchange rates, according to a travel company.
The number of lira that can be bought for a UK pound has quadrupled from around eight in 2019 to 34 currently. Holidaymakers visiting Egypt are receiving approximately twice as much local currency for sterling than they were before the pandemic.On The Beach said a sharp rise in flight capacity has also driven the rise in demand for holidays in Turkey. There are an additional 1.2 million seats on flights from the UK to Turkey this year compared with in 2019, according to the tour operator.
Airline Jet2.com recently revealed its flying programme to Turkey is three times larger than in 2018. Antalya, known for its blue waters and stunning coastline, is the most popular Turkish location among On The Beach customers, while Hurghada on the Red Sea coast leads the way for Egypt bookings. On the Beach chief customer officer Zoe Harris said: "The top location for holidaymakers this holiday season is the Canaries, followed closely by Spain. Spain had a slight decline in bookings last year, however this year it’s back with a notable increase in bookings compared to 2019.
