Why are my holidays more expensive?
When the pound falls against other currencies like the dollar or euro, it means your money buys less abroad. So, if you're planning a holiday to the US or Europe, things like hotels, meals, and souvenirs will feel a bit pricier. Your spending money won't stretch as far as it did when the pound was stronger.
