'Brexit calculator' helps UAE residents figure out how much they save in UK

"A fun way to explore quintessential British tourist activities, and work out how much you could save on holiday"

Richard Branson’s Virgin Atlantic has introduced a Brexit calculator game to help UAE residents save money on UK trips.

The dirham is at a record high against the pound at present, with an exchange rate of just AED10 to two British pounds, as a result of uncertainty around the implications of the UK’s vote to leave the European Union (EU).

Virgin Atlantic says there has “never been a better time to take advantage of the savings”.

Its new Brexit calculator enables prospective visitors to the UK to select from a range of popoular tourist attractions such as afternoon tea, watching a football match or attending a play, and calculate the cost pre- and post-Brexit vote.

Nick Parker, head Of India & Middle East for Virgin Atlantic, said: “The Brexit calculator is a fun way to explore quintessential British tourist activities, and work out how much you could save on holiday at the same time.”
