Desde 2010 o site americano Price of Travel divulga seu ‘Backpacker Index’, uma pesquisa com as cidades mais baratas para mochileiros. Assim como nos anos anteriores a Ásia apresenta os destinos mais econômicos.
Para chegar ao resultado o índice considera que o viajante, diariamente:
– hospede-se em dormitório e um hostel considerado bom e barato;
– consuma 3 refeições;
– pague 1 atração cultural (exemplo: entrada em museu);
– compre 2 passagens em transporte público;
– consuma 3 cervejas baratas (o que eles chamam de “fundo de entretenimento”).
Os preços são levantados em moeda local e convertidos para dólares americanos, neste caso em janeiro de 2015.
