SPAIN/EUROPE: TRAVELLERS PREFER BARCELONA

Article Abstract:

Research by British Airways Holidays', has revealed that Barcelona has surpassed Paris to become the leading destination for UK travellers going on city breaks. It suggests that the main attraction of Barcelona is the Mediterranean influence - sandy beaches, climate, nightlife, shopping and cuisine. Industry sources suggest that Paris might already be past its peak, arguing that the development of the Eurostar service five years ago now means that anyone who ever wanted to go there has already been. Other changes amongst the top ten cities saw Amsterdam down from second to fourth, largely as a result of a lack of accommodation and Prague rising from eighth to fifth.
