TOP 20  DESTINATIONS: 10 - 6

10. HOLIDAY CENTRES – 1,463,000

Yes Brits have always loved a holiday camp.  There's something about swapping our semi's for chalets that makes us feel completely at home.  Whether it's Butlins, Pontins or Center Parcs, nearly 1.5 million of us said hi di hi to them last summer, with Center Parcs the market leader.

9. NORTH WALES - 1,500,000

Despite Anne Robinson's very best efforts, Wales still manages to weigh in at number 9, 1.5 million of us came here last summer!

We say we love the beaches. Who needs to go to the Caribbean when there’s the exotic resorts of Rhyl and Prestatyn.

8. SOUTH OF FRANCE – 1,850,000

At number 8 in our countdown is the South of France. We can't resist the land of the French Resistance. Every summer it's stacked to the skies with sexy celebrities sunbathing in miniscule bikinis and gorgeous french women simply dripping in style.

Then thanks to those nice cheap flights to Nice… we turn up!

7. IRELAND – 2,100,000

The luck of the Irish is working as far as tourism is concerned with over two million of us crossing the Irish sea last year making it number seven in our chart.

So we arrive in Dublin. We’re surrounded by history, beautiful Georgian architecture, the birth place of James Joyce. 
And what do we do?  Go to the pub and get plastered. 8 out of every ten pounds we spend here is on food and drink.

6. ITALY – 1,294,000

Italy comes in at number six on our countdown and with it a rather different breed of British tourist who doesn’t go to Italy for the beach but for ‘the experience’.  They stuff themselves full of culture and food.
