The latest data from Hotels.com's
Hotel Price Index, a regular report based on actual prices paid in 2014
compared with 2013, reveals the Big Apple to be Britain's top choice of holiday
destination abroad.
Internationally referred to as the
cultural and financial capital of the world, with iconic sights such as the
Statue of Liberty, Times Square and Central Park, it's no wonder New York has
climbed to the top spot throughout 2014, putting Paris in second place second
place for the first time in three years. The HPI revealed a complete reshuffle
in the top five destinations in 2014, with Amsterdam coming in third, closely
followed by Dublin and then Rome - pushing Las Vegas to sixth place and out of
the top five altogether.
In spite of the record inbound visitor
numbers to the UK, predicted for the second
year running in 2014, it seems there has been no change to UK destinations
which attract overseas visitors, with all five remaining cemented. London was
once again the most visited city with Edinburgh coming in a close second.
Following the Scottish capital was the popular northern city, Manchester with
Liverpool and Glasgow completing the top five. The only new entry this year was
Inverness taking the penultimate spot in the top 20.
