China, Vietnam and Oman are tipped to be holiday favourites for 2008, according to Thomas Cook’s latest industry report.
The tour operator has predicted that China will be the hottest new destination, thanks to its hosting of the the Olympics.
Ian Derbyshire, executive director of Thomas Cook Holidays Division, added: “But also China and Vietnam are examples of a different trend we are seeing where people are looking for culture and history as well as great beaches.”
According to the report, bookings to Sardinia are also tipped to soar next year, due to new flights.
“Of the established destinations, both Greece and Turkey are likely to do well,” the report said.
“Egypt, which last year welcomed a million British visitors for the first time, is also on the up. Dubai continues to grow, particularly combined with the Maldives or Mauritius, and Cuba is dancing its way back up the charts.”
