Euro strength 'has not affected luxury travellers'”

These people are still travelling to Europe, whipping out their credit card or other payment method to pay for their annual luxury trip.

Mr Gallon noted that these people may be looking for something a little bit different when they take off for their vacation though.

"It is just not good enough any more to go to a five star hotel with marble and gold balustrades and butlers in white coats," he explained. "People are looking to experience something else, something different that they can talk about when they get home."

One way in which people can save money when holidaying abroad is by using a prepaid currency card.

The cards can offer a lower exchange rate than is usually on offer in airports or other bureaux de change.

Card providers include FairFX, CaxtonFX and MyTravelCash.
