Turkey enters the list of top 10 holiday hot spots

According to a survey conducted by Thomson, three of Turkey’s popular holiday spots gain international acclaim as they are added to a list of the best.

The survey was compiled from a large number of customer reviews with the aim of creating a guide for British tourists who are planning for vacations during the summer.

Those surveyed were asked to name their favourite holiday destinations in terms of climate, food, prices, activities, restaurants and nightlife. Spain’s Benidorm on Costa Blanca Island ranked first on the list for those who like sea, sun and sand. This ranking may help strip off Benidorm’s image as a party destination.

Five places in Spain made the top 10 list. In addition to Benidorm, Puerto San Miguel, Playa Blanca, Puerto Rico (Canary Islands), and Puerto Pollensa are the popular holiday destinations of Spain.

Being a popular holiday destination with beautiful scenery, and historical and cultural wonders, Turkey also took its place near the top.

The Thomson authorities said that the system of customer views gives better and more reliable results than brochures since they include small but important details as well as general impressions.

Honest evaluation

“When you read a brochure, you cannot know for sure what the holiday destination is really like. But our survey offers an honest holiday evaluation by real people who have been to these places before, and can tell real stories about the food, activities, prices, etc.,” said a tourism industry authority. The survey is likely to make an important contribution to Turkey’s promotional campaigns, said the tourism authority.
