Britons 'booking holidays to unknown lands'
Millions of Britons have visited countries they know very little about before they set off, new research has revealed.
The survey by travelsupermarket.com reveals that nearly one in five people have visited a destination while on holiday that they would have been unable to find on a map.
And 31 per cent of 20 to 29-year-olds claimed they were unable to identify the destination they hoped to vacation in, Travel Bite reports.
Bob Atkinson, travel expert at travelsupermarket.com, said: "For those people who are travelling somewhere new this summer, a simple internet search is a good starting point to check where you''re planning to go is the place you book and ensuring the local currency is what you think it is."
It was also revealed that 1.9 million Britons have travelled overseas and taken the incorrect currency with them.
A recent survey by the Post Office revealed that only 25 per cent of Britons realised that Slovakia had joined the eurozone on January 1st 2009.
