The phrase ‘cheap holiday destination’ can be misleading – you might bag yourself a great deal only to spend a month’s wages while you’re there – and even historically cheap holidays like Turkey have had their value knocked by the weak pound. But there are still places where you can stick to your budget without resorting to eating pot noodles every night. We look at ten cheap spending destinations for 2011 according to the Post Office Worldwide Holiday Costs Barometer (which takes into account currency trends and the prices of popular tourist purchases such as food and drink and sunscreen). Of course the exchange rate of the pound is also important for those looking to purchase property abroad and help foriegn home owners with a property for sale. PortugalCurrency: Euro (1 GBP = 1.18202 EUR)Given how much the pound has been struggling against the Euro, it seems strange that a country in the eurozone would feature in the list, but because of unfavourable exchange rates, many Brits have been giving Portugal a miss as a holiday destination. The result? They’ve been slashing their prices left, right and centre in order to compete for tourists and prices have fallen a whopping 49% over the last twelve months. Spain
Currency: Euro (1 GBP = 1.18202 EUR)
Likewise, Spain has been trying to retrieve its good-value-holiday-destination status by reducing costs of products and services, including restaurants and bars, with their prices now at a record three-year low. Plus, while it’s a far cry from its previous performance, the pound is slowly creeping back up against the Euro. Prices vary across the country though – e.g your pocket money will go much further in Benidorm than it will in Marbella but in these winter months the Canary Islands with its all year round summer climate is also a popular destination. Czech Republic
Currency: Czech koruna (1 GBP = 28.3820 CZK)
Although the popularity of the bigger towns like Prague meant that the once ridiculously-low prices crept up, you can still have a super-cheap break in the smaller towns and cities, where you’ll find quality restaurants, picturesque scenery and beers the right side of a pound. This is largely due to them retaining their currency though, and they plan to adopt the Euro in 2012 so take advantage now. Bulgaria
Currency: Lev (1 GBP = 2.31026 BGN)
You can wine and dine out every night and still stay within budget, especially if you avoid the typical tourist restaurants. Bulgaria’s inclusion in the list is supported by International Currency Exchange (ICE), who compared the cost of an ice cream in key holiday hotspots around the globe and found that the Bulgarian cities of Burgas and Varna offer the best price. 59p per ice cream, in case you’re wondering. Sri Lanka
Currency: Rupee (1 GBP = 179.047 LKR)Sri Lanka has taken over from Thailand as the cheapest long haul destination, because of their consistent low prices. You can get a meal for less than a pound there, and even if you want to treat yourself to the top end eateries it won’t set you back more than about £7. And the exchange rate in Sri Lanka isn't as much affected by the fluctuating pound as it is in Thailand and Malaysia, compared to previous years. Hungary
Currency: Forint (1 GBP = 317.071 HUF)
Hungary is another destination that’s not quite the bargain it once was. You'll find that prices in the rest of the country haven’t increased as much as they have in Budapest. That said, your money will do you much better in Budapest than it will in other Western European capitals – especially if you head into the side streets and the suburbs for restaurants and pubs. Thailand
Currency: Baht (1 GBP = 49.5098 THB)
Thai Baht is amongst the currencies the pound had fallen the most against over the last year, so it’s not as dirt cheap as it was, but it’s still up there – especially after visitor numbers dropped after riots in Bangkok in 2009. It’s possible to spend a lot if you’re drawn to expensive restaurants and the best hotels in the most touristy areas, but if you take advantage of good quality street food and bargain guest houses, and are prepared to barter in the markets, you can easily do Thailand on a shoestring. Mexico
Currency: Peso (1 GBP = 19.2933 MXN)
Mexico became less popular as a holiday spot after the swine flu outbreak in spring 2009 and the value of the Peso fell. Low costs on the ground for meals and drinks make Mexican resorts a one of the best buys for Brits at the moment. As well as in the restaurants and bars, you’ll find some great bargains for snacks and souvenirs at roadside stalls and indoor market – especially if you haggle. Kenya
Currency: Shilling (1 GBP = 131.166 KES)
The cost of living has always been low compared with other countries, and tourism has never fully recovered after the industry was devastated by post-election riots in 2008, so the even cheaper prices imposed by Kenyan businesses trying to win back the tourists have lasted. MalaysiaCurrency: Ringgit (1 GBP = 4.89542 MYR)
Another destination that’s lost some of its value due to the state of the pound, but general low ground prices mean it’s just scraped into the top ten, and there are not many places where you’ll pay such low prices to stay at a tropical paradise comparable to the Perhentian Islands, with its clear water and white sandy beaches. There are also not many cities as big a Kuala Lumpur where you can go out for a three-course meal for a fiver.

A new study published today by Globaledge.co.uk reveals the most searched for overseas property destinations by UK internet users. The research looks at over 200,000 property-related searches over the last 100 days from the UK Wordtracker database and groups them by by overseas property location. Spain is top of the list, accounting for over 10% of total searches, and the list is dotted with numerous Spanish towns and coastal names. Although the obvious locations of Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol are the most popular regions, the popularity of the Canary Islands is the most interesting finding. There is considerable search volume even at local level with Costa Teguise (Lanzarote), Palm Mar (Tenerife), Caleta de Fuste (Fuerteventura) all making the top 101. property for sale in Caleta de Fuste and the rest of Fuerteventura can be found on the BuyIn Fuerteventura web site.
France, Bulgaria and Cyprus are next after Spain for property for sale, but perhaps the biggest surprise is Italy, which appears only at position 21. Italian regions also fair badly with only Umbra, Puglia and Le Marche making the cut. Globaledge.co.uk Director Ashley Rigg says: "In economic terms, Italy has been dubbed the sick man of Europe and buying there is incredibly complicated. It's also expensive in many regions, which is probably why Tuscany doesn't make the list at all." In the emerging real estate markets, the usual suspects of Bulgaria and Dubai both feature in the top ten and Morocco also does well, coming at number 13. Interestingly, Prague makes it into the top 20 which will come as a surprise to some. "The Czech Republic is one of the best performing economies in Central and Eastern Europe and finance is easily available. It's even possible to get 100% mortgages. News of the opportunities have obviously filtered through to the British public," says Rigg One location that hasn't been picked up by many consumers is Egypt, which only makes number 57 on the list despite "having some of the best rental yields and growth prospects in the world", according to Rigg. "It has had quite a bit of press recently but it may be the perceived political risks that are turning investors off." Methodology and Data The data was taken from the Wordtracker UK database on 6th May. Our team analysed the most popular 200,000 searches containing the word "property" over the 100 days to 6th May 2008. The phrases where grouped by location to create the list. For example, both "Property in Greece" and "Greek property for sale" are grouped under Greece.
