Budgeting could be good idea for a holiday in Croatia

02 November 2009

British travellers taking a Croatian holiday may want to spend time budgeting to avoid surplus cash at the end of their trip.

New research by Santander Cards shows that UK tourists returned home with £1.78 billion of foreign currency last year.

More than 60 per cent of all those who take an overseas holiday bring cash home, with the average amount standing at £61.

And those who choose Croatia as the destination for their next trip for its beautiful coastline and favourable exchange rate may want to do some research on exactly how much finance they will require for a great time in the Balkan country.

Callum Gibson, director at Santander Cards, said: “While it’s not surprising that Britons are returning from foreign holidays with some leftover spending money, the incredible amount of unused foreign currency floating around the nation’s homes is quite unexpected.”

It was reported in a Guardian blog last month that Croatia could be great value for money as a holiday destination over the winter months compared with more expensive cold-season resorts in France, Austria and Italy.
