Traveling To The Britain, What Now?

With Britain voting to leave the European Union, many travelers are worried about travel. They are concerned about what this will mean for them and whether it will have a negative impact. For the most part, travelers will be pleasantly surprised at how it will affect them.

Banks

One of the few negatives to traveling to Britain right now is the currency. The pound is at a low and some banks are suspending foreign currency exchanges temporarily. Travelers can combat this by exchanging their currency before they get to Britain. That way, they won't have to worry about finding a bank that will exchange their money.

Hotels

Prices for hotel are about 30% lower than they were even two years ago. This means that you may be able to afford to stay an extra day or two or even splurge for a room upgrade. If you pre-booked your hotel before prices dropped, you can always check to see if the hotel will give you a lower rate. If they won't, check the cancellation policy. If you are still within a certain window, you may be able to cancel your hotel room without penalty and book a room somewhere else at a much lower rate.

Attractions

Not only will you experience lower hotel rates if you travel to Britain right now, but you will probably be able to get into attractions at a lower price. Admission prices to many attractions is around 10% cheaper than it was even a few weeks ago. Because of these lower prices to certain attractions that were pricey before, they are now more affordable to cash strapped travelers right now.

Airfare

Many airlines dropped their airfares a few weeks before Britain voted to leave the European Union. There is a chance that prices may drop a little bit more in the next several weeks. Even if they don't go any lower it's not expected that they will rise, at least not very dramatically in the near future.

Traveling From Country To Country

Currently it's fairly easy to travel from border to border within the European Union in most instances. However, even traveling from London to Paris may become more difficult. You will likely have to go through customs and immigration at each border. This means that you should allot enough time to get from one destination to another and have all necessary documents with you.

If you are thinking about visiting Britain, now is the time to go. If you can't make a trip right now, at least make your travel arrangements and exchange your currency. You aren't likely to find cheaper exchange rates or hotel or airfares than you are right now.
