Brexit sends tourists packing

• Since Brexit, Asian tourist destinations have become more popular

• European destinations have seen a decrease in popularity

• Asia is a cheaper continent overall for Brits to visit

 

 

With Article 50 set in motion and the UK on its way out of the EU, long haul destinations such as Dubai are increasing in popularity among British families looking to get more bang for their buck. 

 

Since the value of the pound began to drop in June last year, data from Escape Travel Money Prepaid MasterCard®, shows that card spend in Asia is on the up, with Dubai seeing a 26 per cent rise and places like Indonesia and Thailand seeing an even higher increase of 32 and 34 per cent.
