Prices were down in 70 percent of the 44 destinations surveyed by the Post Office for the annual report's Worldwide Holiday Costs Barometer while Sri Lanka registered the barometer's highest price rise of 38 percent.
The Post Office barometer monitors the price of eight tourist items in over 40 destinations worldwide - including dinner for two, drinks and sun cream.

Das ist interessant - hab mir mal das Ranking auf der Seite angeschaut. Aber ehrlich gesagt vermisse ich, dass auch die Unterkünfte berücksichtigt werden. Tragen ja auch zu den Urlaubskosten bei. Im Vergleich war unserer Erfahrung nach Sri Lanka (2014) günstiger als Thailand (2013).
