From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Airport transfer website Hoppa has released its annual report on the cheapest and most expensive holiday destinations in the world.

The average cost of a one night stay per person was analysed in 84 places around the globe to produce the ranking.

The total per person includes the split cost of a hotel room, a meal for two with a shared bottle of wine, a shared 3km taxi journey, as well as a coffee, a cocktail, and a beer each.

Hoppa's report also looked at other features like the cost of a sightseeing bus and key attractions, although they are not included in this ranking.

From the deserts of Saudi Arabia to a sunny seaside town in Colombia, here are the 19 cheapest holiday destinations on the planet in 2017. They are ranked by the average all-in price per person per night, alongside a breakdown of how you'll spend your money in each place.
