Faro ranked number six, with London being the most searched for destination, fulfilling predictions of increased domestic tourism in the UK in 2009.

Barry Smith, Skyscanner co-founder, said: “It is still early days for 2009 bookings but already we can see that British people don’t want to give up on their beach holidays.”
