Reisorganisaties als D-Reizen, Tui en de ANWB merken dat reizigers behoefte hebben aan meer informatie over hun reisbestemming, nu het in veel vakantielanden onrustig is. "Klanten oriënteren zich beter, ze boeken bewuster hun vakantie. Dat levert meer aanloop op bij onze reisbureaus", zegt Laura Water van Tui.
The region in the south of Spain has recently been found to be the cheapest of a dozen popular resorts around the world for tourist essentials.
In fact, the eight items surveyed - a family evening meal with drinks, cup of coffee, bottle of beer, Coca Cola, glass of wine, large bottle of mineral water, suncream and insect repellent - add up to just £42.49 in Costa del Sol.
Meanwhile, Marmaris in Turkey is the highest priced European resort at £68.86 for the same must-have items.
The research
The research, carried out by Post Office Travel Money, found that tourist essentials in ten of the 12 destinations surveyed are cheaper than a year ago.
This includes the Algarve, in Portugal, where essentials run £46.59 and eating out is almost as cheap as it is in Costa del Sol.
