An increasing number of travellers are choosing to go off the beaten track into little known or niche territory when taking a package holiday abroad, it has been revealed.
This is according to Tom Hall, UK travel editor of lonelyplanet.com, who said that going to little known festivals and sports events are all the rage when it comes to those forgotten corners of the globe.
He said: "When people are going, they might be aiming for some of the more iconic experiences, maybe it is a one man train or boat ride, maybe it is visiting some off the beaten track but very famous ancient ruins, those kinds of things."
He added that Central Asian destinations were also increasing in popularity amongst British tourists.
His comments follow those made by travel writer and broadcaster Sarah Woods said that European destinations such as Burgundy were also something of a trendy hotspot among Brits.
