With a 54% increase in flight searches, Estonia ranks as number 1 emerging summer destination for British travellers
As always, this time of year sees hoards of Brits setting off overseas in search of that much needed sun, sea and relaxation with the traditional destinations of Spain and France usually proving most popular. However, it appears that a greater number of intrepid travellers are now looking past the ‘usual’ vacation hotspots in search of something different.
Data taken from the Top 10 Emerging Destinations for British Travellers survey compiled by price comparison website Skyscanner shows that the small Baltic nation of Estonia saw the biggest rise in interest compared to summer 2010, with a 54% increase in flight searches. Indeed, the Estonian capital of Tallinn, voted this year’s European Capital of Culture appears to have helped attract a greater number of British tourists interested in finding out more about Estonia, considered to be one of Europe’s best kept secrets.
Skyscanner’s Travel Editor Sam Baldwin states: “It’s great to see lesser-known spots receive well-deserved interest and Skyscanner’s data may be indicative of a growing trend to visit places off the beaten track.”
Alan Forsyth, Director of highly respected property investment agency, Property Secrets comments,
“The Skyscanner data perfectly highlights that emerging markets like Estonia will in time, become hot picks for tourists around the world. Estonia has so much to offer including charming seaside towns, pretty villages and a surprisingly cosmopolitan culture and has certainly begun to place itself on the tourism radar seeing a 41% increase in the number of UK visitors with a record number welcomed in the first half of this year. I am over the moon that the beautiful Baltic nation has finally made its presence felt.”
