Croatia has seen a 150 per cent surge in holiday bookings from Britain as the strong Euro forces holidaymakers to look outside the Eurozone.
UK holidaymakers that are looking to escape the country for their summer holidays due to poor weather are increasingly seeking locations outside of the eurozone due to budget constraints, according to travel website lastminute.com.
As a result, Eqypt, Turkey and Tunisia have all performed well, but Croatia has steamed ahead with a 150 per cent increase in bookings.
John Bevan, managing director of lastminute.com, said British customers are heading to destinations where their pounds will go furthest and bargains are available.
He added: "We are seeing a strong interest in destinations outside the euro, whether these are short or long haul. We are also noticing that Britons are trying to find ways to cut corners by spreading short breaks throughout the summer as well as throughout the year."
It was revealed recently that British holidaymakers are particularly looking to vacation on Europe's sandy beaches.
UK bank Abbey Savings found they are also looking for locations which will have as few of their compatriots as possible.
