On a list of the best value-for-money holiday destinations for the UK, Cape Town lost out to Ha Noi in Vietnam. The reason? The cost of sunscreen. Here's how much holiday items cost the Brits in the Mother City:
to Han Noi in Vietnam, where the cost of holiday items totalled £67,78 . Cape Town fell just short of the top spot, where the average total for holiday items will set a traveller back £68,49 .
The annual report surveyed 28 long-haul destinations for the cost of common holiday items like a cup of coffee, a three-course meal and a bottle of water, but it’s the price of sunscreen that let Cape Town down. The survey found the price of sunscreen in Cape Town costs on average £8,92 versus £5,35 in Han Noi.
The UK is known for its lack of sunlight in some parts and sunscreen is likely an important travel item for British travellers visiting sunny South Africa. But as Cape Town’s tourism eagerly sector awaits the December season, let’s hope this key market won’t mind spending just a bit more time in the shade and flock to our shores all the same.Cape Town, South Africa
