Destinations for 2012
itravel2000, a Travelzest
company (LSE:TVZ.L), a leading Canadian
online travel retailer, has listed top 12 destinations for
the year 2012, based on the online booking trends and
consumer inquiries for 2012.
The list reveals a distinct interest in emerging destinations
compared to last year. Traditional destinations such as
Varadero and Orlando still feature, but destinations such as
Aruba, Panama City and St Maarten have caught the attention
of Canadian travellers this year.
The top 12 destinations for 2012 are listed below:
1. Riviera Maya: Riviera Maya's geographic proximity to
Canada and good availability of flights makes it a choice of
many Canadian travellers. It remains a preferred destination
among families and lovers of light eco-adventures.
2. Varadero: Varadero is known for its beaches and
hospitality. There are dozens of flights a week from Canada
to Varadero, which makes it all the more favourable to
visit.
3. Punta Cana: Punta Cana, a reasonably-priced tropical
getaway, is a favoured Caribbean destination for its great
beaches, golf courses and resorts.
4. Cancun: A favourite for over 35 years, Cancun
continues to be a preferred Mexican destination of many
Canadians with its great eco-parks, watersports, golf
courses, Mayan ruins and many more offerings.
5. Montego Bay: Montego Bay, host to the island's
busiest airport, is set to welcome many Canadians this year.
New hotel development in the major Jamaican cities of Negril,
Montego Bay and Ocho Rios also marks Jamaica's growing
popularity as a whole.
6. Puerto Vallarta: One of Mexico's most
sophisticated destinations, Puerto Vallarta remains a tourist
favourite because of its great beaches and eco-tourism
opportunities.
7. Orlando: Orlando is in limelight as a host to the
61st NBA All-Star Game in February. Its other attractions
such as the theme parks, lakes, museums and picturesque
neighbourhoods continue to draw tourists.
8. Costa Rica: Costa Rica is a favourite among
travellers for its beaches, eco-adventures, tropical golfing
environment and culture.
9. Nassau: Nassau, with direct short-duration flights
from Canada, is a preferred destination with its laid-back
Bahamian lifestyle, sandy beaches and great activities
options.
10. Aruba: The most popular of the ABC islands- Aruba,
Bonaire and Curacao, Aruba is one of Canadians' most
desired Caribbean destinations because of its great beaches,
resorts and hospitality.
11. Panama City: The booming city is set to give an
upgrade to many things - hotels, museums, and even its famous
canal. The newest additions to the city are Panamera, the
first Waldorf Astoria hotel in Latin America, and an
innovative natural history museum called BioMuseo. And,
Canadians are all set to explore them!
12. St Maarten: Known as "the friendly island", St
Maarten is well-known for its over 35 beaches. Canadian
travellers will be making the most of the direct flights from
Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and Halifax.
Jonathan Carroll, President of itravel2000, and CEO of
Travelzest, commented:
"We are seeing an interesting turn in consumer travel
patterns this winter season. Though traditional destinations
such as Orlando, Cancun and Riviera Maya have remained
favourites, many Canadians are booking their travels to
emerging destinations too. It is great to see the shift, and
we look forward to provide consumers with the best value on
their travels."
