Belfast Best Value for UK Tourism, Says New Tripadvisor Survey
A NEW survey shows that Belfast is the best value UK city for tourists.
And this is especially good news for people in Kent as they can fly direct to the Northern Ireland city from Manston with top award-winning airline flybe.com
TripAdvisor, the world’s largest travel review site, reveals that Belfast tops the UK best value list followed by Liverpool, Cardiff and Glasgow.
London was the third most expensive location among the forty-nine cities in the index.
TripAdvisor’s cost comparison index was based on the price of a pizza, a dry martini, a taxi ride and one night's accommodation in a four-star hotel.
The cost in Belfast was £106.54, after which came Liverpool at £115.62, Cardiff at £123.06 and Glasgow at £131.40.
London’s cost was £231.95, with only Zurich (£235) and Paris (£267) being more expensive.
TripAdvisor's Emma O'Boyle said: "Cost, and in particular value for money, is one of the most important considerations for travelers.
"This index allows travelers to make an educated decision as to whether a destination is right for them."
Manston’s Paula Horne said: “We’re delighted TripAdvisor confirms that Belfast gives best value in the UK. It’s brilliant for a short break or as a base for a longer holiday in Northern Ireland.
"A short, cheap flight from Manston to Belfast with Flybe takes you to a city that has culture, nightlife and retail therapy aplenty, and it’s a must for weekend travelers, hen parties, stag dos and anyone in search of a good time.
”With fares currently as low as £29.99 one way, there's never been a better time to get to Belfast from Kent."
