Closer to home, bookings for Greece and for Club Med’s new Belek resort in Turkey are up 30% and 20% respectively.
Estelle Giraudeau, marketing director of Club Med UK, said: "With the UK slowly coming out of the recession this year, people are feeling more optimistic and this has certainly been a contributing factor to the increase bookings."
