As the fallout from the BREXIT vote still needs to be determined, UK holidaymakers might be wondering what kind of impact this will have on their trips and if they’ll have to resort to beans on toast for breakfast. 

Fortunately that’s not the case as FairFX has revealed a new list of holiday destinations, where the British Pound can still get you a full continental breakfast without breaking the bank.
