One such adventure holiday company is the very good Intrepid Travel based in Australia and offering solo holidays worldwide in a number of currencies.

So we looked at a holiday in Central America from Intrepid, named ‘The Way to San Jose’, to see the price difference if you change currency.

The price quoted in NZ$ is $1400. If you changed the currency the price quoted is UK pounds is £480 (which is NZ$1180 as of today’s exchange rate).

Thats a massive difference of over NZ$200 and there is noting stopping someone in New Zealand from buying this holiday online in pounds.

Even if your bank charges you a lot for buying in another currency you will still probably save quite a bit of money!

This is similar to the discrepancies exposed on trans-atlantic flights where it is much more expensive to pay for flights using Euro or Sterling compared to dollars.

It might well be worth looking at this if you are booking a holiday. Keeping an eye on exchange rates can help as well.
