DHAKA: More people are heading to Europe for a holiday, which has become more affordable with the falling euro.

Travel agencies here have seen an increase in demand for travel to the continent, some by as much as 40 percent.

‘We’re still seeing strong demand, especially over the Chinese New Year break. Many are repeat visitors to Europe,’ said Dynasty Travel’s director of marketing communications Alicia Seah, reports The Straits Times.

Sales of the agency’s tour packages to European countries, such as Spain and Portugal, rose 40 percent last year compared with 2013, said Seah.
