Executive Summary About Exchange Rates Today ByAnn Chadwick

If you want your holiday money to go further, choosing the right country based on their currency rates could make all the difference. Exchange rates are influencing factors in whether you decide to invest in a property abroad, retire abroad, do business abroad, or of course, go on holiday.

Despite the fact currency rates can impact drastically on how much money you'll have to spend on your hotel, excursions and dining out, it's surprising how little the British public are clued up about foreign currency exchange rates. So much so, that a recent report found that British holidaymakers returned with £1.78bn of unspent foreign money in 2009.

Going on holiday seems to encourage a holiday mentality when it comes to foreign cash. It's as if because some foreign currency doesn't look like British money it's somehow like Monopoly money. And if exchange rates need to be calculated, some holidaymakers simply give up.
