[Idyllchat] Affording Italy, Another Perspective

[Bob Johnson]

We too always look for ways to save and always like to analyze all the numbers to see what is actually happening.  We kept our Idyll catalogs and invoices each year since our first trip to Switzerland in 1999.  If we look at the Swiss Heartland trip here is what we found for a two week stay.

 

Inclusive  

1999  $1,824     2008  $2,639     44.7% Increase

Ground only       

1999  $797       2008  $1,399     75.5% Increase

Air (Diff) 

1999  $1,027     2008  $1,240    20.7% Increase

Swiss Franc      

1999  $0.655     Present $0.856    30.7% Increase

 

Currency exchange rates represent the summer average for 1999 and the present rate of exchange for comparison.  We love traveling with Idyll but these disproportionate increases did get our attention.  This was the only destination comparison we made
