Iceland Offers Best Value Destination

According to the Best Of Travel 2010 guide, published by the Lonely Planet tourism firm, the land of ice offers visitors the most competitive prices in the world of tourism.

Hit hard by the financial crisis last year, the small island of 320 000 inhabitants saw their currency, the Icelandic Krona decrease in value, offering travelers significant savings.

Lonely Planet ranked Thailand as the second country that offers more value for your money.  The third position was a surprise. The travel guide ranked London as the third destination for tourists. Known as one of the most expensive cities in the world, the English capital has rose up the charts due to the decreased value of the pound.

According to the Best Of Travel 2010, some restaurants and London hotels have cut their prices in half compared to several years ago.

Other destinations for tourists who want more value for their money include South Africa, India, Malaysia, Bulgaria, Kenya and Las Vegas.
