The Maldives is the most popular destination for Kuoni customers in 2013, the tour operator announced in its Travel Trends Report 2013.

The Maldives is not only no. 1 in Kuoni’s top 10 destinations this year but also beat the competition to be the most popular honeymoon destination in 2013 (as it was in 2012), as well as being no.2 for singles holidays.

The archipelago of idyllic islands are the ideal destination for beach, honeymoon and diving holidays and has consistently scooped Kuoni’s top destination slot.

Overall, the ten top selling destinations for 2013 are the Maldives, Thailand, Sri Lanka, the USA, UAE, Mauritius, Malaysia, Barbados, Singapore and St Lucia.

The Report also predicts that Vietnam will rise in popularity and although outside the top 10 holiday destinations chart this year, will fulfil its potential, fuelled by a greater choice of flights and some exciting new beach options for those that love the Far East.

The Report’s 2013 figures are based on holiday bookings made up until December 2012.
