Holiday advice: The non Euro destinations are coming top in popularity even though Spain is still popular but waining..
Spain has dominated the choice of destinations for the exodus from April 1-6, with the warm Canary Islands, and the ever popular but slightly tacky Tenerife in particular, dominating the list of preferred destinations.
Top non Euro destination – Egypt remains strong thanks largely to Sharm el-Sheikh, while Tunisia and Turkey are both selling well. In the long-haul market, Florida and the Dominican Republic are proving popular.
City breaks are also selling well with Paris, Amsterdam, Dublin, Milan and New York all in the overseas top five, while London Edinburgh and Manchester are dominating the domestic market.
