Top holiday destinations for UK travellers
You know where your favourite spots are to take a holiday, but where is everyone else going?
Whether you enjoy laying low near home or don't mind splurging on a trans-oceanic flight to the other side of the world, there is no doubt that Britons love to travel, experience new cultures and well, see the world.
This year we aren't feeling the financial crunch we did last year, and from the first quarter we can already see a huge increase in travel and tourism. Local destinations are falling behind as the average Briton is throwing last year's "stay-cation" out the window. If doesn't have to take months of planning to take a trip, there are so many last minute cheap flights out there, especially from London, Edinburgh, Manchester and even Newcastle.
