Places like South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia are frequently thought of as once-in-a-lifetime destinations,” said Tourlane’s Director of Marketing, Jillian Randolph. “We are excited to reveal that they are actually cheaper than visiting Colorado for a week of skiing, giving travelers an exotic alternative to an expensive week on the slopes this season.”
Additional takeaways from the research:
- South America and Africa are the best-represented continents in this year’s ranking, with three countries each in the top eight.
- South America dominates the affordable end of the ranking, with three of the top five countries located there.
- A week in Beaver Creek, Colorado is 259% more expensive than a week in South Africa, 195% more expensive than a week in Argentina, and 176% more expensive than a week in Chile.
Methodology:
In order to rank the exotic destinations based on price, the following price factors were researched for a seven-day period, using Tourlane’s own data: All transfers, activities, and accommodation. To understand how these prices compare to a week on the slopes, the price of ski rental, a lift ticket, lunch, and accommodation for a seven-day period was also researched. Winter 2019-2020 runs from December 21st, 2019 through March 20th, 2020.
