Everyone is suffering under the strain of the credit crunch. With people losing their jobs and others wondering if they will still be employed in a months time, everyone is sitting on their extra cash.
Those planning wedding and honeymoons know that they have to cut corners and save money where they can. And the honeymoon is the easiest place to do it.
With the South African Rand weakening sharply against the Dollar and the Pound, South Africa has become a surprisingly reasonable destination. A damn nice 4-5 star honeymoon for 10 days comes in at anything from $5000 per person. That means that from this time last year to today, you will save more than $2000 each just in exchange rate. That is pretty good going.
So if you are planning a honeymoon in 2009, give South Africa a shot and see what you can get for your money.
