The battle of the titans has ensued with the two top holidays going at it. By quite a long way, holidays to Egypt and the Caribbean are the most sought after and by far the most popular. It may not be fair to compare a whole region to one country, but they are probably not that different in size.
Cuba holidays have really taken off in the last 10 years, boosting the overall tourism industry in the Caribbean to massive amounts. However thanks to destinations like St Lucia, Barbados, Grenada and Cuba the Caribbean has a massive amount of visitors every day. Although they may look the same, each of these islands feel completely different. There is much diversity in the Caribbean, the islands are all completely different. If you go to St Lucia or have ever been, you will know that it is becoming a spa holiday island, just somewhere for you to get pampered.
So does this really give the Caribbean an unfair advantage when holiday bookings come into it? Well look at it this way, every month around 130,000 people search for Egypt holidays just in the UK. That’s a phenomenal number, and although it is less than all of the Caribbean island searches, the number of searches for Egypt outweighs that of any other single country, at the moment.
But why egypt? Well when you consider it, Egypt has a lot more to offer than many other countries around the world. With such a diverse and extensive history dating back over 7000 years and most documented, this makes Egypt very unique. It’s not just Egypt’s history that’s fascinating, activity wise Egypt offers some great diving locations, Spa holidays and archaeological dig sites. Everywhere you go there is something interesting to see. Egypt has a great climate as well, although for some this maybe too hot.
So there you have it, two of the holiday destination kings.
