Published by Mark Smith-HalvorsenBritons consider their annual holiday to be one of the main highlights of the year and are reluctant to trim back their holiday money budget, according to travelsupermarket.com.Commenting recently, Bob Atkinson, the price comparison site's resident travel expert, said that consumers will forgo "all sorts of things" during the year in order to be able to afford their annual holiday."Wanting to ensure they get value for money when having to give up luxuries, they are using price comparison [websites] more and more to help their money go further," he added.For those planning for a holiday in the new year, checking out the best exchange rate deals on holiday money may also help to make budgets work harder.Mr Atkinson's comments followed research carried out by Travelzoo which showed that 42 per cent of people plan to travel more in 2010 than they did this year, with three-quarters of travellers opting for a trip outside the UK.For competitive rates and commission free travel money, visit our Travel FX site
