Euro zone travel update: With the pound now worth just 90p against the Euro. Compared to 79 p a few month ago. Any travel to the Euro zone is going to be expensive when you get there.

However the holiday deals to the Eurozone are getting cheaper, so one almost counteracts the other..

This means that holidays and travel to destinations such as Spain, The Canaries, Majorca, Ibiza, Greece, although no more expensive and in fact actually getting cheaper, your holiday budget with the £ so low means that everything is more expensive, almost a contradiction in terms.

So what can you do about it? Well you can seriously consider travel destinations away from the Eurozone such as Tunisia, Morocco, Turkey, Egypt and the Caribbean.

The low came as experts predicted the pound would fall further and reach parity with the euro within the first three months of 2010. One euro was worth as much as 90.36p, the highest level close since May 11. A year ago a euro would only buy 79p.
