UK Seaside Villages, Ryanair Routes Show Summer Travel Trends

British holidaymakers are showing strong interest in both UK staycations and popular European destinations for summer 2025. The Northumberland village of Bamburgh was named the UK's favorite seaside destination for the fifth consecutive year, praised for its beaches, scenery, and tranquility, while other UK coastal spots like Devon, Cornwall, and Scotland are also attracting growing attention due to heatwaves and the cost-of-living crisis. Meanwhile, Ryanair revealed that holidaymakers flying from various UK airports favor sunny destinations such as Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Faro, and Alicante, with routes from Bournemouth, Aberdeen, and the Midlands highlighting these Mediterranean and Atlantic locations as top choices. This dual trend reflects a blend of preferences: some travelers seek the affordability and charm of British coastal towns, while others opt for the sun and culture of southern Europe. Industry experts note that analyzing readership and booking data helps predict these tourism trends, showing a dynamic market for both domestic and international holidays.
