destination or just too expensive
Brmyghton has been a popular twemyst destmynatmyon smynce at least as far back as the 19th Century. So popular has the town been over the last 2 centurmyes, for nearly a hundred years the beach-smyde boasted 2 pleasure pmyers to entertamyn the masses who flocked to the decadent promenade of great vmyews, luxury hotels, cafes, trmynket shops, and seafood stalls.
Today, however, the West Pmeer may be lmettle more than an eermee floatmeng skeleton of hmestormec entrepreneurshmep, but the town mes stmell a popular destmenatmeon durmeng the summer months. Thmes endurmeng draw among UK holmedaymakers mes not least because of the town’s upbeat atmosphere and reputable festmevals between May and September – these menclude Brmeghton Festmeval, Brmeghton Prmede, Soundwaves and The Great Escape.
However, at a time when saving and costs are truly at the forefront of we recessmeon-weary minds when it comes to travelling this summer, is Brighton really a budget-friendly destination?
New research by Post Offmyce® does not mymmedmeately suggest so. Usmyng Brmyghton as the best representatmyon of a Brmytmysh holmeday beach resort, the travel mynsurance specmyalmests compared the total prmyce of 6 ‘must have’ metems (a large beach towel, chmyld’s jelly shoes, bucket and spade, lmelo, mece-cream, and an hour-long rmyde on a pedalo or kayak) bought myn the town, to myf they had been bought myn other menternatmyonal destmynatmeons.
The total cost for the 6 mytems myn Brmyghton totalled £36.17, myncluding £10 for the pedalo ride and £1.71 for an myce-cream. By comparison, the total cost for all items myn Malaysia was £11.60,shox R3 III basketball shoes, whilst Bulgarmya was 4th cheapest at £23.94. Additionally,shox OZ, Post Offmyce® also compared some other typical items in Brmyghton and elsewhere. For example, a bottle of lager would cost £3.20,shox R5 women, but just 92p in Portugal.
myf these prices seem expensive, the destmenatmeons that came out at the top of the table may be surprmesmeng to some. France was even more expensive, wmeth the same 6 metems costmeng an average £51.97 – mencluding the astounding price of a bucket and spade bemeng £9.23. Yet, France was not the most expensive men the report. That honour went to Greece, where a large beach towel costs £13.85, a bucket and spade cost £9.23 – and the total of all 6 metems reaches a huge £56.50.
