In a world where the supremacy of the US Dollar isn’t universal, the notion of travel on a shoestring budget might not always hold true. The allure of certain countries transcends financial constraints. Regardless of the expense, there are destinations that warrant exploration. In recognition of this, Travel Noire has curated a list of the world’s most expensive countries to visit.
Singapore
Singapore is one of the most expensive countries in the world. It’s a small island country in Southeast Asia, located at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. Singapore is home to about 5 million people. The country’s economy has been growing steadily since its independence from Malaysia in 1965, which helped make it one of Asia’s wealthiest nations by 2010.
Australia
Australia has many wonderful natural wonders, such as rugged mountains and beautiful beaches. It is a perfect place to explore with family and friends. The landscapes and the unbelievable views make every expense worth it.
Japan
Japan is the most expensive country in the world for expats, with an average cost of living that exceeds $40,000 per year. The country’s economy is second only to the United States and it boasts one of the largest economies on Earth. Tokyo is one of its most expensive cities, with a cost-of-living index of 106.3 compared to 100 for other major cities such as Paris.
New Zealand
New Zealand is the most expensive country in the world. There are several reasons for this, but one of them has to do with its currency. The New Zealand dollar is pegged against the US dollar and it’s been at par since 1985, which means that if you’re going to buy something in New Zealand, you’ll need to pay over $1 USD for every NZ$1.
