31 Mar 2010
More than 2m British holidaymakers are set to take advantage of the Easter break by embarking on a trip between 1 and 6 April, according to Abta - The Travel Association.
The organisation revealed that Spain remains the 'outright favourite' for Britons, with Tenerife and other destinations in the Canary Islands proving particularly popular.
Looking further afield, travellers have showed strong interest in Egypt, Tunisia and Turkey, as well as the tropical hotspots of Florida and the Caribbean.
Abta pointed out that Easter is also a 'peak time' for city breaks, with Paris, Amsterdam, Dublin, Milan and New York leading the field in this sector.
Those planning to stay in the UK have shown strong interest in London, Edinburgh and Manchester, as well as rural areas such as Cornwall, East Anglia and northern England.
John McEwan, chairman of the industry association, said: 'Easter is the traditional curtain raiser to the summer and I am delighted to see that hundreds of thousands of our customers are taking the opportunity to take a well-earned break both here in the UK and overseas.'
