How does the cost of a day at the beach compare with the rest of the world? An interesting new global index is released on July 27, 2016.
Package holiday specialists TravelBird have released a study offering the most comprehensive information regarding summer holidays: a Beach Price Index of 250 of the world’s most popular beachfronts. The Index calculates the cost of a day at each seafront, allowing travellers to worry less about the costs of their break and focus more on having an amazing travel experience. As a company which prides itself in constantly inspiring holidaymakers, TravelBird’s Beach Price Index arms travellers with ample information for their perfect beach get-away.
To create the ranking, TravelBird began with a list of 900 of the world’s most popular seasides and whittled the list down to 250 of the best beaches from 66 countries worldwide. They then calculated the cost of a day at each, factoring in average costs for sun cream, a bottle of water, a beer, ice-cream and lunch. All prices are calculated by standardising the sizes of products, and with monetary transactions true to exchange rates on 1st July 2016.
3 Croatian beaches appear in the Index, with the following rankings: The most expensive was Zlatni Rat, Brac Island in position 199 (€21.41/US$24.17 for a day), followed by Bacvice, Split which ranked at number 217 (€18.85/$21.28). Nin, Zadar County ranked as least expensive, in position 222 (€18.08/$20.39).
