Brian Jamieson, the Co-Founder and Managing Director of Centtrip, the firm which conducted the research, offered the following comment on the results. ‘Overseas travel is increasing, but as people visit more countries, they need to make sure they are getting a fair deal when buying foreign currency, and keep charges down to a minimum’.
