Long haul holidays offer best value for money

British people heading to holiday villas in Florida can look forward to jetting off, knowing that they are sure to find some of the best value for their money this year.

According to Post Office Travel Money's Long Haul Report 2011, the US is one of many countries against which the pound has strengthened this year, and makes holidaying in the country a more attractive prospect.

Those heading to villas in Orlando, Florida, will find that their dollars will go further when visiting top family destinations.

Legoland Florida, which is due to open next month, was reported last week to be confident of attracting a high number of UK visitors, with an expected five to ten per cent of the 1.3 million annual visitors expected to visit.

Post Office Travel Money's head Sarah Munro said that those heading to US destinations would be "quids in" this year.

"Resort prices have fallen in two-thirds of the countries we surveyed a year ago and, in addition, sterling has strengthened against 15 of 26 long haul currencies," she added.
