Disneyland Paris tops holiday search results

More Britons searched for information on Disneyland Paris in the last month than on any other destination, according to new research.

Figures from online research provider Hitwise show that the resort topped a list of the most used travel search terms in the four weeks to July 14th.

Other destinations that featured in the list included Tenerife, Cyprus, Spain and Majorca, as rising numbers of travellers turned to the web to book a late summer holiday deal, reports TravelMole.

Locations that saw a significant rise in internet searches compared with last year included Turkey, with a 50 per cent increase, and Las Vegas, which saw a 39 per cent jump.

An estimated two million holidaymakers passed through British airports over the weekend after the school year came to an end, according to the Association of British Travel Agents.

Heathrow and Gatwick airports were expected to see up to 700,000 people depart from its terminals, the organisation said.
