Cyprus in top 10 favourite destinations of UK holidaymakers

ABTA travel association published its ‘top 23 for 23’ list: the 23 most popular destinations Britons say they plan to visit this year.

Cyprus is ranked number ten on the list, with Spain, the U.S. and France being Britons’ favourite holiday destinations.

Staying closer to home seems to be the preference for most people, the research reveals, as a large proportion of the list is short to mid-haul destinations such as Spain, Turkey and the UAE.

However, destinations including the USA, Mexico, Thailand and Australia continue to have their draw as long-haul favourites.
