Morocco is also proving more popular for Easter getaways this year, with Britons heading to both the magical city of Marrakech and the beaches of Agadir.
Alistair Daly, Chief Marketing Officer at On the Beach comments: “Spain is always a popular destination for Brits heading abroad over the Easter period and it’s interesting to see the growing popularity of Majorca, which in the past was generally considered a summer sun destination for British holidaymakers. We can see that trend continuing with more and more people heading to other traditional summer sun destinations such as Corfu and Crete over the Easter period, both of which enjoy many hours of sunshine each day.”
