The traveller's guide to spending
Article Abstract:
There are many ways for travellers to pay their way when on holiday, including cash, credit cards and cheques. It is wise to take a combination of different types of money, although cash should be limited to around 200 pounds sterling. Costs are attached to whichever type of holiday money is used, determined by factors such as exchange rates, credit card fees and commission fees. A guide to choosing the best combination of holiday money is presented, plus a country-by-country guide to the most popular holiday destinations.
