The pound may not be feeling too powerful right now, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy a lengthy holiday in the sunshine all the same. Week-long and even full fortnight holidays to African and Asian destinations are now coming in cheaper than holidays in the EU, and you're sure to see your spending money go further on the ground. There's never been a better time to book.
