The travel agents, airlines, the resort/place you go to, resteraunts you go to while there etc.

Is that what you were asking?

Drug carriers

I don't think you'd actually ever make a profit from going abroad, but there are websites that offer cashback if you review their hotels/services/etcs. I can't for the life of me remember the address of the one I have in mind though

There are also cashback websites that give you a percentage of what you pay for your holiday if you click through them.

Is that what you wanted to know?

And independent travellers too. You would be surprised what you can buy oh so cheap in Poland and sell on websites what funds your travelling if you are prepared to pay for the case!

Nothing illegal too and that includes cigaraettes.

You ever been stopped lately?

If you go through the correct channels when you buy something from Krakow Galleria you will get the tax back. They have signs in the windows for tourists.

I think some OAP's can 'make a profit' by virtue of the fact that they spend less than they would in the UK if they go to the MED for the winter.

Other than that, try taking 1.5lbs of heroin into Laos and you could get lifelong free food and accommodation. Or some free lead!

You said everything is legal and then ask about being stopped, are you suggesting that it may not be legal?

When are you going to tell us what it is?

Teahfc

If it is that good a thing, either sell the idea on E bay or dont announce it on a public message board !


'They recognise talent there'

If you have a talent come back and tell us when you have made your millions :rotfl:

You won't get tax refunded as you're an EU citizen - and refunds are only made to non-EU citizens departing on flights leaving the European Union.

Having said this, I imagine buying cigarettes in Poland and selling them in the UK can be ridiculously profitable - although also ridiculously dangerous if Customs even suspect for a second that you're planning to do it.
