Pound Remains Strong Against the Gambian Dalasi

09 January 2009

The Gambia continues to offer excellent value for money with the pound remaining strong against the Gambian dalasi. Whilst the pound has fallen significantly against the euro, the US dollar and the Egyptian pound over the last few months hitting travellers hard, holidaymakers in The Gambia will get much the same rate of exchange as a year ago. 

Since the start of the winter 2007/08 season the value of the pound has fallen by 28% against the dollar, 27% against the Egyptian pound and 22% against the euro but less than 1% against the dalasi.

It’s not only whilst in The Gambia that holidaymakers are realising the country’s value for money, 7 night package holidays are currently available for under £300.
