The country which saw the greatest increase in the amount spent by UK tourists was Romania, where there was a 113.9% increase in the amount spent since 2010. Lithuania also saw a large increase of 74.2%, giving it the second highest increase in amount spent by UK tourists and the United Arab Emirates had the third highest increase since 2010 with 73.7%.

The research also suggests that in 2014, British people travelled on over 60 million trips abroad and used £35.5 billion in spending money.

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’.

Centtrip was initially established in order to cater to the needs of higher spending individuals taking frequent trips abroad, but the service also provides holidaymakers with a low cost and convenient way to spend money abroad.
