Greece takes third spot in online searches for global destinations

Greece is the third most popular holiday destination according to a survey of web searches from December 2017 to December 2018, conducted by TravelSupermarket.

The holiday price comparison site also used Google's Keyword Planner to establish the average monthly search volume in each country or territory for the term "Holidays in..." for over 870 destinations. This was then used to find each country or territory's favorite destination, then all the favorites were put in a chart to indicate the top favorites. Greece only trailed Italy, Spain and Australia on that chart.

TravelSupermarket found that Greece had an average of 136,540 monthly searches around the world and was the most popular destination for people in seven countries.

Spain was the subject of 229,470 searches per month, just above Italy's 226,860, largely thanks to the 181,190 searches made in the UK....
