Hot Travel Destinations For 2010
In 2009 the Top ten Travel Destinations were dictated by the Credit Crunch, people wanted good holidays at affordable prices and could not really afford the luxurious resorts that they would normally visit.
2010 is no different the Credit crunch is still hurting a lot of people and the cheaper end of the holiday market is still the way to go for most people, there are a few changes from the list of 2009 because some travel operators are making the more luxurious resorts more affordable by cutting prices to try to encourage you to go with them.
Now you can visit the more exotic parts of the world if you so desire.

Tunisia comes at the fifth ranking because it has got more interesting tourist product than what you have mentioned.Tunisia hasn't got only peaceful beaches or rich culture and history,it is known for interesting golf courses,stunning desert and affordable super thalasso-therapy services.That is why UK tourists are chosing it this year as the best new destination.Thanks a lot....

Egypt is always dreamland
Great hub Jimmy! Great destinations for Summer.
I have been to Bulgaria. Sofia as well as Sunny Beach. Great time!
That's a nice list
I have this desire to travel to Egypt and Turkey. I look forward to plan a trip soon.
Great list Jimmy.
I personally love Italy and France but they are so expensive. Turkey seems the ideal choice for No.1, nice blend of beautiful locations and cheap prices
Just got back from two weeks in Egypt and Jordan. Found Jordan quite exceptional and would go back especially to dive/snorkel in the Red Sea.
Egypt is absolutely beautiful. I have been there several times and it has always been amazing.

Great Vacation picks!
Always fancied a trip to Egypt, maybe someday, nice hub Jimmy !
Wow, very interesting! Thanks for sharing.
Great hub ! oman is a greatplace to visit too.
This was absolutely wonderful. Great Job.
Very well listed destinations. Though there are some very good holiday destinations as well but still good selection. I love to go to Egypt.
I was glad to see Spain listed (where i live) - a great country and well worth visiting. Has anyone been to the Alhambra, for example, a truly wonderful, world status. Moorish castle?
I've always wanted to go to Egypt, so I'm definitely not surprised to see it mentioned on this list.
Got some great travels ideas from reading this. Thanks so much for sharing!
Good hub with nice pics - you've done it again, Jimmy.
Tricia will be going on holiday with her tent (and her Wonderful Husband). Pat will be going anywhere that relatives can put her up (and put up with her Wonderful Husband).
Now I have more places to add to my bucket list of destinations.
My interest lies on exploring my country from North to South and East to West.I love traveling good places.You just gave brilliant places to go and enjoy my tour.Thanks.........
Thanks for the nice info jummy.. though i would have liked mention of Himalayas too in top ten destinations but quite informative.
Nice places jimmy and very cool pictures too! Now if I only have the money, I'll go to any one of these places. I'll go for Spain first, then Turkey, then Tenerife (I'm dreaming, ignore me LOL). Thanks for sharing.
I see from you hub that Benidorm has dropped out of sight, when once it was the most popular destination for British holidaymakers. That'll be yet more bars closing down this year!
A well put together hub. Thank you for sharing.
Good hub. I have been to about 80% of the places you mentioned in your hub. It leaves 20%. As per 80:20 rule of Pareto, these 20% would eat up 80% of my life time spending in sightseeing.
You missed Motown! Happy New Year, Jimmy!
Well Done Jimmy. You picked up some excellent destinations.
