While it is not advisable to travel overseas at present, because it increases your risk of Covid-19 infection, it is interesting to see where, if you were travelling, you’d get the most “bang for your buck”. The following list of the five most affordable destinations in the world is based on the latest Big Mac Index survey (July 2020). This measure, launched some years ago by The Economist magazine, gives an idea of how much a US dollar would buy you in any particular country, by comparing prices, when the local currency is converted to dollars, of a McDonald’s Big Mac burger. While it may serve as a rough guide to how “cheap” or “expensive” a particular country is for tourists, you need to do more homework before going anywhere. For example, while a Big Mac may be relatively cheap, hotel accommodation or car hire may not be.
