QCOSTARICA — The United Kingdom Post Office (Post Office UK) carried out research into the costs for British tourists to travel to different parts of the world.
Their Worldwide Holiday Costs Barometer for the 18th annual Post Office Travel Money Holiday Money Report Holiday gathered the prices that tourists typically spend on eight essential items during their travels.
Next, it compiled a list of the countries where purchasing these items costs more. Costa Rica’s Tamarindo, in Guanacaste, ranked at the top. Or to put it another way, for the best value destinations worldwide for 2024, Tamarindo was in last place.

The eight articles that were taken into account are:
- Three meals for two people with a glass of wine
- A cup of coffee
- A bottle of local beer
- A can of soda
- A glass of wine
- Water bottle
- Sunscreen
- Insect repellent
The key findings and top 15 best-value hotspots from the 2024 report found that Tamarindo, Costa Rica is the most expensive destination in the barometer, with prices up 13.2% year-on-year, costing £158.04 sterling to purchase the items, which represents about ¢100,000 colones at the current exchange rate.
Using the numbers from the report, New York City, where you would pay £143.28 pounds for the same items, is less expensive than Tamarinto.
So is Dubai, Cancún (México), Vancouver (Canada), Nice (France) and Rome (Italy), among others. Lowest priced performer was Hoi An (Vietnam).
