Great Value for Money in 2009
If you’re thinking it’s too expensive to plan a Scotland golf trip in 2009, think again. Here’s some good news from VisitScotland.com:
With the dollar growing in strength against the pound, US visitors will have more bang for their buck in Scotland. Compared to the 2007 exchange rate of $2 to £1, Scotland is now 25-30% cheaper for US tourists with an exchange rate of $1.40 to £1. Contributing to these extra savings is the recent reduction in VAT (similar to sales tax) from 17.5% to 15% so if you’re planning a trip now is the time to come to Scotland.
And by planning your own golf trip to Scotland (i.e. not paying a premium to a tour operator) you can save an additional 25-30%. What are you waiting for?!
