EDINBURGH, Scotland, January 4 - Travel search site Skyscanner (www.skyscanner.net) reveals the top
50 most searched for destinations from UK airports for travel in 2010.

In the top spot is Malaga, moving up one place from last year. Tenerife
and Alicante are second and third, meaning Spain takes the top three
positions.

Orlando is a new entry into the top ten, rising 12 places since last
year. Dalaman holds its position as the 5th most searched for destination for
a second year in a row, whist New York also brakes into the top ten, up five
positions from last year.

rising four places, and Geneva is 10th, dropping two places.

Overall Spain is yet again the most popular country for Brits to visit,
with 11 Spanish destinations within the Top 50, five of which are in the top
ten.

"These early indications show that Spain is still by far the most popular
destination for British travellers. Medium and long haul locations also seem
to be on the rise compared to last year, suggesting that holiday budgets may
be growing after a tough financial year" said Barry Smith, Skyscanner
co-founder and business director.
