Brexit has finally arrived, and contrary to some predictions, it appears to be offering holidaymakers significant savings. Planes continue to fly, travel insurance and driving licences remain valid, European health insurance cards are still honoured, and mobile roaming charges in the EU are still low. Better still, bargains abound, with the Post Office and other bodies comparing expected holiday costs and finding post-Brexit deals across the EU and beyond.
Portugal's Algarve remains a popular choice, with rooms previously reserved for Thomas Cook customers now available at reduced prices. A golfing week at the Alvor Praia Beach hotel costs from £626 per person through Jet2holidays. Turkey's Turquoise Coast also offers value, with a week at the self-catering High Life apartments in Marmaris from £772 per person including flights via Icelolly.
Japan, despite its Olympic year, has seen hotel vacancy rates rise and prices fall. A nine-day Highlights of Japan group tour costs from £4,249 per person including flights, or a 16-day Japan Cycle Tour from £5,349 per person, both through Exodus. Bulgaria's Sunny Beach offers family-friendly fun, with holiday essentials down 15% in the past year. A family of four can stay at the Evrika Beach Club Hotel for £849 per person including flights and transfers via TUI.
South Africa remains accessible, with a week at the Lord Charles Hotel in the Cape winelands from £848 per person including flights via British Airways. Finally, Spain's Costa del Sol, once feared to become off-limits, sees falling costs. Seven nights at the Hotel Albahia in Alicante cost from £286 per person including flights through Haystravel.
