Why your holiday costs more

When a currency like the Philippine peso weakens against the US dollar, it means your pounds might buy fewer dollars, making holidays to dollar-pegged destinations or those heavily reliant on dollar imports more expensive. Flights, hotels, and even local goods can see price increases for British tourists.
