According to a poll on travel site ‘TravelZoo’, Greece is the 5th preferred holiday destination for British nationals. The survey revealed that safety is the tip priority for the British tourists, a factor explaining why they choose domestic ‘stay-cations’ destinations for their holidays. Following their homeland, the Brits’ second most popular destination is Spain, with France coming in third, followed by the US and Italy. Two thirds of the British holiday makers are already in the process of planning their summer travels. Low cost and sunny weather are two most important factors for Brits to choose their destinations, following security. This is the list of British nationals’ favourite holidays places for 2016:

1. UK – 27%

2. Spain – 21%

3. France – 10%
