9. TRAVEL HABITS<br />
Top overseas destinations for UK<br />
travellers<br />
New York retained its position as the most popular<br />
overseas destination for UK travellers in 2011, despite<br />
the average room rate increasing 4% to £173. In fact, as<br />
the Pound gained against the US Dollar, other US cities<br />
featured in the Top 20 list: Las Vegas, San Francisco,<br />
Los Angeles, Orlando and Miami.<br />
Paris was the second-most popular overseas<br />
destination and top European city for UK travellers.<br />
Other traditional European city break favourites also<br />
ranked prominently with Amsterdam, Dublin, Rome,<br />
Barcelona and Berlin all in the top 10.<br />
Other locations included Dubai and the Far East cities<br />
of Hong Kong, Bangkok and Singapore. However, Tokyo,<br />
which was 28th on the list last year, fell out of the top<br />
40 following the aftermath of the earthquake in<br />
March 2011.<br />
