Lira sales rise as more people head to Turkey
Thursday April 2nd , 2009
The number of people holidaying and buying property in Turkey could be set to rise following an increase in lira sales.
New currency statistics from Marks & Spencer Money reveal that sales of the lira were up by 46 per cent in the first quarter of 2009.
James Yerkess of Marks & Spencer Money claims that the falling value of the pound against the euro means that people are now looking to destinations that use currencies with better conversion rates.
He adds: "Brits still want to enjoy a holiday, but they are being more selective about where they go."
Other warm, non-euro destinations such as Egypt and Mexico are also proving popular among British tourists.
Marks & Spencer Money offers interest-free currency exchanges, with bureau de change branches available in more than 110 stores nationwide.
