Past celebrity visitors include Pricilla Presley,<br />
Boris Becker, Vanessa Mae, Helmut Kohl and even<br />
Sir Cliff Richard. Soon the England 2006 World Cup<br />

Savvy Travellers Choose<br />
Long Haul<br />
During the summer holidays savvy travellers will be looking for a<br />
way to make their holiday cash stretch a little further. According to<br />
The Royal Bank of Scotland, travelling long haul this year may just<br />
be the answer. Holidaymakers to Europe will see that the Pound has<br />
weakened against the Euro over the last 12 months. Instead,<br />
travellers hoping to make their travel money stretch further, may<br />
wish to broaden their horizons and head to more exotic destinations.<br />
Douglas Gowan, Head of Travel Money for The Royal Bank of<br />
Scotland comments: “During the last 12 months, fluctuations in<br />
exchange rates mean that some preferred holiday destinations no<br />
longer offer the value for money they once did. However, whilst<br />
some rates have fallen, many long haul destinations continue to offer<br />
great or improved value for money and travelling further afield may<br />
prove more cost effective for your holiday spending.”<br />
