Portugal Holidays Are Searched For More Than Other Destinations

Portugal and Portuguese resorts top the list of holiday destinations being searched for by people looking to book a holiday online.

Online travel agency, www.holidays-direct.co.uk (Holidays Dash Direct) analysed searches made by visitors to their site during May and were surprised find Portugal and The Algarve were searched for more often than other holiday destinations.

Spain has the most visitors from the UK each year and was the second most searched for country.

Many people booking holidays in Spain, Greece and Turkey conduct searches for "family holiday" or "cheap package holidays" reflecting the countries' reputations for good value resorts with facilities for families.
