Hottest holiday destinations for 2022

The Travel Association has revealed top 10 destinations that people are planning to visit this year, with travellers craving a mix of far-flung, bucket list destinations and firm favourites closer to home.
The 10 most popular holiday destinations are:
1.    Spain
2.    America
3.    France
4.    Italy
5.    Greek
6.    Portugal
7.    Germany
8.    Australia
9.    Canada
10.    Turkey

The classic European holiday havens of France (17.8pc), Italy (16.4pc) and Greece (10.1pc) round off the top five, all promising world-renowned culture and gastronomy as well as lots of options for a sunshine-filled beach getaway during the summer months.
While Portugal (8.7pc) and Germany (8.2pc) remain the sixth and seventh most popular locations, Turkey (4.0pc) has moved up two places to the tenth most popular destination this year. This increased popularity could be due to the exceptional value for money it currently offers UK holidaymakers as the Turkish lira has fallen considerably against the pound.
