Vietnam has overtaken Thailand in travel agency Hayes & Jarvis’ rankings of the ten most popular destinations for UK tourists.
The agency’s list of the top ten long-haul locations favoured by UK travelers include Mauritius, Mexico, Kenya, New York, Hawaii, Egypt, Vietnam, Tanzania, Thailand, and the Dominican Republic. Vietnam placed seventh ahead of Thailand’s ninth.
Hayes & Jarvis explained African countries topped the list thanks to UK naturalist and broadcaster Sir David Attenborough’s TV series.
New York is still recovering from the impact of Hurricane Sandy, ranking fourth.
Brazil, Costa Rica, China, and the Caribbean’s Tobago Island were also popular with UK tourists.
