Credit Crunch Holidays by Motorhome
By Susan Lomas | February 20, 2009
Because of the poor GBP/EURO exchange rate, British residents will get much less for their money in Europe unless the present situation improves. At the time of this press release, (16-12-2008), we are seeing “parity” between the pound sterling and the euro for the first time ever.
As a result of this many British people will be considering not going abroad for their 2009 holiday unless the situation improves.
This is why a really smart move is to have a motorhome holiday in 2009. If the pound to euro exchange rate does not improve before the summer then a motorhome holiday in the United Kingdom makes good financial sense.
If the exchange rate (sterling/euro) should improve in the pound sterling’s favour then you could still take your already hired motorhome to Europe and make the most of getting more euros for your money. Countries such as Spain and also the former Eastern block countries such as Croatia have great cheap campsites and meals out are inexpensive.
Better petrol and diesel prices: It is worth noting that economic and political circumstances surrounding America and the Middle East have meant that fuel prices have stabilized during the autumn of 2008. Fuel prices are less expensive than they have been for a long time, a situation which looks likely to last into 2009 and a factor that is very important if you are considering a touring holiday.
Investing in the UK: If you do “holiday at home” in the UK you will be helping to keep small businesses in your own country afloat. You may be helping other people just like you to provide for their families. You will be making a “greener choice” too by not flying to your holiday destination.
When you hire your motorhome in the United Kingdom and you pay in pounds sterling, you are not affected by fluctuations in the European exchange rate.
Families love motorhome holidays: Children love camping holidays but sometimes Mums and Dads find the “under canvas” variety somewhat lacking in luxury!
