LONDON, May 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
It is hard to plan your holiday according to what other people
say; someone's money saving advice may actually wind up punching a
hole in your wallet. After all what one person says is cheap might
not be so cheap to another. To this end NatWest have launched the
Holiday Spend Calculator to make drawing up a holiday budget much
easier. Taking information from trusted sources -Expatisan and
Numbeo - they have put together a list of average costs for a range
of items including a bottle of wine, a meal for two and theatre
tickets from 25 locations.
This is a perfect opportunity to really get to grips with how
much your holiday spending could be.
6 a.m. Bedtime
If you are out to have a good time and party to the late a.m.
then the top three items on your purchase list would be:
- Alcoholic drink
- Fast food
- Taxi Trip
According to the Holiday Spend Calculator, Siem Reap, Bangkok, Beijing, Berlin, Barcelona and Buenos
Aires are the cheapest party holiday destinations.
Couples Retreat
Couples tend to go for a more romantic and relaxed holiday,
enjoying time away from their busy ordinary lives. It
wouldn't be necessary to go all out for the cheapest deal, but it's
good to know how much an average meal for two costs, theatre
tickets for date nights and the average cappuccino for morning
ambling.
Backpackers Paradise
An adventure holiday might be more your sort of thing. Items to
price could include bus tickets, toiletries and daily food
essentials (bread/milk/water). Although a backpacker holiday is
usually a lot cheaper, an indication of how much a 3* hotel costs
also gives a good idea of the average cost of your
accommodation.
Shopaholic
Whether you are a bargain hunter or the princess of the high
street, knowing how much Levis 501 jeans, trainers and
mid-afternoon cappuccinos cost is bound to be on the top of your
budget agenda. Have a look at the NatWest tool, it might sway your
next shopping destination!
Whether you are looking to hang out in the Big Apple or enjoy
the bays of Buenos Aires, the
NatWest Holiday Spend Calculator is an excellent guide to how much
that trip will cost you.
