Americans travelling to Europe are getting more bang for their buck, as the euro slides towards parity with the dollar.<br /><br /> The increased purchasing power for US travellers means they’re willing to spend more in eurozone countries, providing a spring time boost to the tourist industry.<br /><br /> Americans hit the jackpot when the euro fell to a 12-year low on Sunday night.<br /><br /> “Yes when I planned the trip six months ago it was going to cost me I think $1.34 to get a dollar in a euro,” explained Susie Flynn from Florida. “Now it was $1.03 so it was awesome. And I exchanged a bunch of my money in the States when I came over. So yeah, it’s made a big impact.”<br /><br /> “We’re here on vacation in Paris visiting with my daughter who’s in school in London.

The British pound is really difficult as far as money is concerned,” said J
