Some British media have analyzed the cheapest destinations for Britons, including options to stay within the United Kingdom.
One of the key studies that are being echoed, carried out by the acqua credit card, analyzes the total cost of a week's holiday for two adults from the United Kingdom, adding up transport, a three-star hotel, dinners, and pints of beer— and places Lanzarote in tenth position in the ranking of the most economical destinations for this summer.
