Spain is 'most popular destination' for Brits17th April 2009

Official figures have revealed that Spain is still the most popular destination for British holidaymakers.

According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), holidays in Spain accounted for 27 per cent of overseas breaks in 2007, with over 12 million visits to destinations such as Alicante and Murcia.

ONS figures also show that Brits are taking more holidays abroad than ever and that trips overseas have risen by 56 per cent in the last decade.

"The volume of expenditure by UK tourists abroad has also risen over the years. In 2007, volume of expenditure rose to £32.3 billion, which was more than eight times the sum spent in 1971," the ONS stated.

However, the number of package holidays being purchased has decreased in recent years, with many people now preferring to book their flights to Spain and accommodation separately.

Abta – The Travel Association claimed earlier this week that despite the strength of the euro, destinations such as Spain, France and Italy will always be popular with Brits.
