Your site is very messy. It has a very unprofessional appearance. Once a user inputs their preferred currency, leave it as the choice rather than asking to rechoose for each destination. There should be a facility to save selected prices under the destination headings so that users can create their own ready reckoner. You need to find sponsors to help you promote their products and services so that this site can become a go to for all savvy travellers. For each country, list the national average prices. For each destination within a country, you should just list the prices for things that are markedly different in price to those in the national averages.
