UK tops holiday choices chart

LUXURY travel network Virtuoso has tapped into its data warehouse of more than $35 billion in transactions to determine the top #summer destinations for 2015. It turns out the well-heeled – those who use ‘summer’ as a verb, rather than a noun – are still vacationing in Europe; however, not in droves as anticipated.

The most popular destinations for summer vacations based on future bookings are:

#UnitedKingdom, Italy, France. Canada, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, 
#South Africa, Ireland and Greece.

The #UK maintains its position as the number one spot for travellers. Bookings for Spain are up four percent and Germany is seeing a seven percent increase. 

The countries that have seen the largest percentage of growth in year-over-year bookings are Australia, China, Eucador, Iceland, Greece, Japan, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Canada and Croatia.

Australia leads the chart with triple-digit growth, indicating that winter travel to Down Under is gaining in popularity. China followed closely behind, largely thanks to Hong Kong, which accounts for almost half of its air traffic.
