Travel Trends & Analysis 2010: Top 50 Destinations for US and Canadian Travelers

EDINBURGH, January 7 /PRNewswire/ — Travel search site Skyscanner
(http://www.Skyscanner.com) reveals the Top 50 most searched for destinations
from Canadian and the US airports.

Jet-setters from both North American neighbors are still enamored with
the big hitters of Europe and the US, with London, New York City, Paris and
Dublin all falling in the top seven spots for each, and London unanimously at
number one.

With two monumental world events in the same year – the 2010 Winter
Olympics in February and the World Cup in June – Vancouver and Johannesburg
(South Africa) have turned up on both lists, with Canada’s also including
Cape Town.

Travelers from both countries are also interested in Poland, though
Canadians prefer the current capital, Warsaw, while Americans want to see the
former capital, Krakow.

Canadians seem to be especially keen on checking out the Far East this
year, with numerous destinations in that region of the world sprinkling their
results. Manila, Ho Chi Minh City, Seoul, Bangkok and Tokyo, as well as
several Australian locations, were popular.

Americans continue to be intent on getting some Caribbean sun, with even
Havana sneaking into the 49th place on the US chart. It seems that American
tourists are eagerly waiting for the border to open up again, and the sooner
the better, especially with many growing tired of the extreme winter temps by
now. Canadians are clearly enjoying the island already, with the Cuban
cultural center showing up in the 27th position for them.
