What is the cheapest country for a holiday? Moreover, it is highly desirable that it be affordable in terms of prices for goods and services, but not "cheap" in terms of comfort and the level of development of tourist infrastructure.
In search of the best tourist destination for the upcoming, long-awaited vacation, you can "comb through" numerous forums and read reviews. You can browse through websites and estimate the cost of tours to a particular country that meets the most important requirements: the presence of the sea, a variety and abundance of hotels, a comfortable climate and affordable prices. In principle, all these movements are correct and justified, but, dear ones, for a long time there has been a wonderful rating in all respects Worldwide Holiday Costs Barometer, in which all the information has already been collected, systematized, processed and laid out on the shelves. Based on the collected information on prices, a TOP of the most financially attractive countries for tourist recreation is compiled.
The "Barometer" of world prices for holidays (free translation from English) compares prices for the same goods and services at the most popular world resorts and, based on this comparison, gives an infallible and objective answer - where is the cheapest holiday at seaOf course, there are purely “land” states in this rating, but we will not talk about them, because the sea is our everything!
Information about where to have an inexpensive vacation at sea is reflected in the "barometer - 2013" in sufficient volume, because of the 42 countries presented in the TOP, only the lazy will not choose to their "taste". By the way, the cheapness or high cost of a particular country for a tourist visit is calculated based on the cost of a daily stay in it for two adults, including the purchase of everything necessary, food, entertainment, accommodation, etc.
Well, let's make a selection from the TOP-10 most affordable countries for a seaside holiday.
Spain. Seaside vacation
Yes, yes, it is Spain that has been recognized as the most affordable country for tourist visits this year. Meticulous researchers from the "bourgeois" barometer calculated that a daily stay for two people at the divine resorts of Costa del Sol will cost only 42 euros. A completely ridiculous amount of money, considering the beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean coast of Spain, the excellent climate, without the sweltering heat, and the abundance of attractions and well-established tourist infrastructure. In general, a seaside vacation in Spain is getting cheaper from year to year, so over the past five years, for example, the average cost of lunch in a standard restaurant has decreased exactly by half!
Holidays in Sri Lanka
Brilliant Sri Lanka is as affordable as Spain, but the Worldwide Holiday Costs Barometer 2013 put it in second place (probably out of European solidarity). Sri Lanka is a country that can be talked about for a long time and "deliciously". Endless beaches, the divine Indian Ocean, a luxurious climate, peace and quiet...
Of course, holidays at the resorts of Sri Lanka deserve the highest ratings and without any ratings!
Holidays on the beaches of Bali
Bali is one of the largest islands of the Indonesian archipelago, which has gained unprecedented popularity among tourists from all over the world primarily due to its unique beaches. Of course, Bali has a well-established tourist infrastructure, hotels and villas that can be rented by the day, entertainment, attractions and so on, but still, most people fly to Bali specifically for the beaches, which, by the way, are washed there, depending on the location, by both the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Looking for an inexpensive seaside vacation? Bali is one of the best options and the fourth place in the rating eloquently confirms this!
Beach Holidays in Vietnam
Vietnam is good in every way! And the huge length of the coastline, rich in a variety of beaches. And the location in several climate zones at once, which allows you to rush off to a beach holiday almost in any season. And a variety of very inexpensive hotels with invariably polite and helpful staff. Separately, we note the interesting local cuisine with an abundance of various seafood (for lovers of exotic) and incredibly colorful and enchanting holidays. And of course, fifth place in the ranking of countries for inexpensive vacations!
Holidays in Turkey at sea
Discussing cheap seaside vacations in 2013, we simply cannot fail to mention Turkey, although it is only in tenth place in the Worldwide Holiday Costs Barometer rating with an average cost of a daily vacation for a couple of tourists of 54 euros. But, firstly, this site is primarily dedicated to Turkey, and we have the right to a biased attitude (no throwing stones). And secondly, Türkiye is geographically very close to Ukraine and Russia, which means that the flight to the Turkish resorts will cost much less than to the same Sri Lanka. A cheap vacation is not only food, accommodation, entertainment and the like, but also an inexpensive flight, and you shouldn't discount this!
It would be nice to make a rating of countries where you can have an inexpensive vacation at sea, taking into account the cost of travel. But that, as they say, is a completely different story...
