People who have booked flights to India and other distant countries may not be used to haggling, but many are missing out because they are reluctant to try, research shows.
Just 26 per cent of those polled said that they had managed to barter for the price of goods, with 86 per cent of those who have tried their hand at haggling claiming to “really enjoy it”.
Chris Brown, co-founder of sunshine.co.uk, urged travellers to have a go at negotiating prices during their holidays.
“Tourists should take advantage of the bargains available by learning the art of haggling,” he stated.
According to the latest trends in exchange rates released by Post Office Travel Money, holidaymakers in certain destinations may find haggling more appealing as exchange rates have become less favourable.
The organisation revealed that those heading to destinations such as Australia, Thailand and Dubai will find that their money does not stretch as far as it did a year ago.
