Turkey attracts more interest from Britons

Holidaymakers in the UK are increasingly showing interest in visiting Turkey, it has been revealed.

According to Cheapflights.co.uk, economic factors such as the strong euro are putting people off taking breaks to traditional hotspots such as Spain.

As a result, more people are searching for cheaper alternatives which do not use the single European currency and offer more favourable exchange rates.

Turkey was found to be attracting considerable attention from money-conscious holidaymakers, in particular the Dalaman area.

The website stated that in the last year, the number of people viewing information on this region online has gone up by 17.5 per cent.

Commenting on this development, Chris Cuddy of Cheapflights.co.uk said: "A definite trend appears to be emerging for alternative vacation destinations."

This backs up the findings of the Association of British Travel Agents, which recently found that the number of bookings for Turkey has risen by 20 per cent on a year-by-year basis.
