The Maldives, Spain and Greece are the most sought after holiday destinations of the year according to new study
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps is expected to announce the results of the next travel review next week, with Brits keeping a keen eye on where they can holiday.
And according to Corona Test Centre, The Maldives, Spain and Greece are the most sought after destinations for Brits.
Corona Test Centre has analysed the search volume and average cost of a holiday to determine which are the most anticipated destinations people want, as well as which are the best value for money. The analysis looks into metrics such as the average cost of a hotel, number of Instagram hashtags, number of entertainment spots, and the cost of a beer, to reveal the best value locations you can visit post Covid-19.
The top 10 countries Brits are searching for holidays around most are:
Renowned for its stunning tranquillity, the Maldives takes the crown as the most sought after destination to visit with a staggering 571,000 people in the UK searching for holidays and travel there in the last six months. In the last month alone, searches for holidays in the Maldives reached 60,500, which is over six times more than searches for holidays in Italy, Iceland, France, Portugal and South Africa.
Edward Heywood, at Corona Test Centre, comments:
‘Lockdown has prevented millions of people from going abroad and enjoying a holiday with friends and family. With tests a crucial part of keeping people at home and abroad safe while the vaccine program continues, it’s great to see which destinations are our favourites, with Spain unsurprisingly taking the top spot in Europe as the UK’s most popular holiday destination.
‘With additional restrictions involved in going abroad this summer, it’s crucial for travellers and tourists to consider all elements of their trip to make it as relaxing an experience as possible. It’s also crucial that holidaymakers are regularly updating themselves with the latest COVID-restriction updates to ensure safe travel.’
