Spain remains popular with Britons

Growing competition from other Mediterranean countries is not denting the appeal of Spain, analysts have revealed.

The European country was highlighted as the most popular destination for families over the upcoming school holidays by Skyscanner.

According to the flight search engine, this demonstrates the continuing appeal of Spain to consumers from the UK.

Barry Smith, chief of business development at Skyscanner, commented: "Spain has always been very popular with British holidaymakers, and it seems it's still the favourite."

He stated that the country is still an attractive option because it offers relatively low prices, good weather and easy access from the UK.

Skyscanner found that Alicante was one of the main hotspots for those heading abroad in the October half-term, along with Malaga, Tenerife and Murcia.

According to Spanish tourism institute Frontur, the country hosted more than 41 million visitors between January and August.
