Bali has taken over the top spot of best value destinations from Sri Lanka this year, according to the eighth Worldwide Holiday Costs Barometer by Post Office Travel Money.

Prices were down in 70% of the 44 destinations surveyed by the Post Office for the annual report’s Worldwide Holiday Costs Barometer while Sri Lanka registered the barometer’s highest price rise of 38%.
The Post Office barometer monitors the price of eight tourist items in over 40 destinations worldwide - including dinner for two, drinks and sun cream.
