A new report from the Post Office has named Turkey as one of the world's top ten destinations for affordable holidays...

The Holiday Money Report, which is based on exchange rate movements and local tourism costs, found that Turkey offers an attractive package for visitors on a budget, particularly those taking a longer break.

Spain also made it into the top ten, despite recent claims that the drop in the pound has made eurozone destinations too expensive for many British travellers.

"UK holidaymakers will be checking prices carefully this year and this means that the winning destinations will be those that offer good value not just for flights and accommodation, but for tourist staples like meals out and drinks," commented Andrew Spice, Spokesperson for Post Office Travel Services.
Turkish news provider Hurriyet recently claimed that the rapid growth of the country's tourism industry will contribute to a property boom in 2010.
