A new survey has revealed that Bermuda is the most favoured dream holiday destination among Britons.

Carried out by Ciao Surveys, the poll showed that almost a quarter of respondents would most like to travel to Bermuda, with 15.6 per cent opting for the Greek islands and 13.9 per cent for New York.

Despite this, Australia was found to be the continent that Britons would most like to visit, while most respondents said they choose to go on holiday for relaxation reasons.

And when it comes to booking their breaks, 58 per cent said they prefer to make their reservations online, while 58.6 per cent conduct research ahead of the holiday so they can plan their daily activities.

Last month, the Post Office released a report indicating that the popularity of city breaks in destinations such as Paris and Barcelona could explode this year as holidaymakers seek to keep costs down.
