Sri Lanka climbs Kuoni list of best travel destinations

Sri Lanka has climbed the Kuoni list as the 4th best selling travel destination for 2010.

Kuoni
Travel Ltd is one of the largest travel companies in Switzerland, and
also one of the leading travel organisations in the world. It calls
itself UK’s most successful specialist tour operator.

The operator’s annual Longhaul Report, which was first published in 1980, reveals the best-selling destinations so far for 2010.

While
the top three most popular long-haul destinations for Kuoni are
Maldives, Thailand and US which held the top places last year, Sri
Lanka and Malaysia have moved up the list to fourth and sixth places
respectively.

China and Hong Kong is a new entry at number eight
and Singapore comes in at number 10. Kenya and Mauritius were the
destinations to drop out of the top 10 from last year.

Kuoni
said destinations to watch out for this year include India, Oman,
Indonesia and Cuba which are all showing momentum and just sitting
outside the top 10.

Other trends identified by the operator
include a desire by holidaymakers to “get under the skin of a country,
to engage with locals or traditional and authentic experiences unique
to the destination”.
