An increasing number of British travellers are planning to visit
long-haul destinations this autumn, according to new research.
The Post Office revealed that countries such as
Kenya and
Egypt are proving popular and attracting strong demand for their currencies.
China and
Indonesia have also seen strong interest from British travellers, according to the research, as well as short-haul destinations that are not part of the eurozone such as
Croatia and
Turkey.
The Post Office recommended that people intending to head abroad over the coming months should plan ahead to ensure that they avoid any unnecessary costs or complications.
Sarah Munro, the organisation's head of travel services, said that sensible options include using a pre-paid card and acquiring foreign currency well in advance.
Research released by the Post Office last month showed that over 4.8 million people had booked to go away for the October half-term, but many were taking a risk by leaving important arrangements until the last minute.
