Shayne Fitz-Coy, CEO of Rustic Pathways , commented on the findings:
“With the cost of living rising dramatically in recent years in many countries, many will still want to spend a holiday abroad, but will look to spend less than usual. A short-distance city break is a great option for would-be tourists who want to visit new places but spend a little less.
“This study provides a clear view of which cities people want to visit, with Europe dominating, and which of these cities are not going to go bankrupt.
“If someone is looking for a break with lots of sightseeing, Dubai is a good option for them as many of the country's most popular tourist spots are free to the public, such as the Dubai Fountain and Marina Beach. Or if a tourist doesn't want to spend too much on food, then Barcelona is a great option, as the average visitor spends only $35 on food during an overnight stay.”
