D6) 12/8/09: Botswana listed among top ten non-European destinations for UK expats.

With more people in Britain looking to work or retire outside of the euro zone, in order to take advantage of the exchange rate, the Sun (UK) newspaper and Expatriate Healthcare website have published a top ten list of preferred non-EU locations.

Botswana placed ninth on the list on the basis of nature and conservation schemes, which are described as ideal for an environmentally aware expatriate, as well as overall quality of life. It was the only country in Sub-Saharan Africa to make the list.

Other preferred locations, in the order of their appearance on the list are: Turkey, USA, Canada, Bahrain, Venezuela's Isla Margarita (described as a Caribbean haven "set outside the hurricane zone"), Egypt, Malaysia, Brazil and Thailand.
