Would You Visit Africa If ....

Monday March 17, 2008
If the value of the American dollar keeps depreciating, by the summer I bet it will be cheaper for Americans to spend a couple of weeks in South Africa, Morocco or Egypt, than in France, Italy or Spain. I ran a poll similar to the one below a few years ago on the site, and by far the biggest reason people did not travel to Africa more frequently, was the cost. Perhaps this year, Africa will finally appear to be a more affordable vacation destination. It is certainly cheaper than Europe once you get there.
